CLAIM: After Joe Biden announced Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris would be his running mate, The New York Times described her as a "pragmatic moderate." Many other news outlets and commentators made the same case.
THE FACTS
Let's first start with Harris's GovTrack report card, which offers statistics that "dissect the legislative records of Members of Congress during the 2019 legislative year." In 2019, she was ranked the most liberal among U.S. senators, even beating Sen. Bernie Sanders. She also "joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats," GovTrack notes.
