The 2019 GovTrack ranking that labeled Vice President Kamala Harris as the “most liberal senator” has been deleted from the website.
GovTrack’s founder, Joshua Tauberer, clarified that the list was based on a single calendar year, which they no longer consider sufficient for an accurate portrayal of legislators’ activities.
“We’re one of the oldest government transparency websites in the world,” the website states.
CBS: "You're considered the most liberal United States senator."
KAMALA: "I— somebody said that, and it was actually Mike Pence on the debate stage…"
CBS: "Actually, nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator."

In the original report, Harris ranked #100, with Sen. Bernie Sanders following at #99.
Additionally, recent reports have pointed out discrepancies regarding Harris’s past titles, including her being referred to as the “border czar.”
The development comes just after President Biden endorsed Harris as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee following his withdrawal from the race, supported by various prominent Democrats.
