Harris rated the#1 most liberal on the hill

Trump ranks as the worst president in history. And he’s the oldest in history to run. Time for a younger candidate. One who isn’t supporting project 2025. As JD said, trump is America’s Hitler.
They didn't just delete this. They deleted all of the 1 year rankings a couple of years ago because they didn't think single year provided good data.
Schimming July 23, 2024, quote
On a Zoom call with reporters, ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign visit to Milwaukee the same day, Wisconsin Republican Party chairman Brian Schimming said Harris “in fact was rated as the most liberal member of the United States Senate.”

Hello Tom,
We have the following statement:
One of GovTrack.us's foundational principles it to enable the American public to make data driven decisions based on the best information we can provide. We previously published two types of legislator "Report Card" statistics: one type based on two-year Congressional sessions and the other type based on single calendar years (at the end of the first year of a two-year Congress). The statistics page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we discontinued creating new single-calendar-year "report cards": We determined that the limited data available in a single year was not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators, particularly given the ebbs and flows of the legislative calendar, and therefore did not serve as a useful tool to our users and the American public. We subsequently took down the previously-published single-calendar-year statistics for the same reason.
We hope that the other analyses that we have are useful for you and the American public, including:
On our main page for VP Harris, the same cosponsorship ideology analysis is presented based on her entire tenure in the Senate and is the most reliable cosponsorship ideology analysis relevant to your question: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/kamala_harris/412678
Our biennial report cards based on complete two-year data for each Congressional session: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members (scroll down under Report Cards)
To confirm what we said in the past, on a page we no longer publish for the reasons described above, I would recommend using the Internet Archive:
Report Cards for 2019 - Ideology Score - All Senators - GovTrack.us
Year-end 2019 legislative statistics.
Additionally, to answer your specific question:
There was no other year or time period in which we reported she was the most liberal. At the time, there were at least two other places on the website where we had the same analysis over other time periods (see the links above), and they had other rankings. Consequently, the claim that we ranked Harris most liberal is cherry-picking.
Thanks for your inquiry,
- Joshua Tauberer

Kamala Harris was once ranked the most left-leaning U.S. senator, but the group that did so has stopped rating lawmakers based on one year.

This is interesting.
The page was deleted between July 10th and the 24th of this year.
Asked why the pages weren't removed when single-year report cards were abandoned years ago, he said, "I was focused on more impactful aspects of our work."
