The Washington Post\u2019s Philip Bump said on August 13, 2020, and I quote:\n\n\u201c\u2018In 2017, Harris was the eighth-most-liberal U.S. senator. In 2018, fourth. As she prepared a 2020 presidential run, she became the most liberal \u2014 joining Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), all of whom also ran.\u2019\u201d\n\n\u201cKamala Harris is also the least electable of 10 possible Democrat nominees.\n\n\u201cAnd don\u2019t take my word for it, that was the New York Times that talked about that this summer.\n\n\u201cShe is unelectable because her positions are radical:\n\n\u201cShe called border wall a waste of taxpayer money.\n\n\u201cShe called to ban fracking.\n\n\u201cShe called to defund the police.\n\n\u201cShe cosponsored legislation to mandate electric vehicles.\n\n\u201cShe tried to change positions but the American people are onto her.\n\n\u201cAs the New York Times poll from this weekend shows, that shine is wearing off.\n\n\u201cThe American people are smart. They know Kamala Harris is not only a liberal, she\u2019s disingenuous because she\u2019s tried to change her positions.\n\n\u201cDon\u2019t take my word for it. When asked about Kamala Harris\u2019 flip flops, Bernie Sanders said Kamala Harris is \u2018doing what she thinks is right to win the election.\u2019\n\n\u201cBernie also said that same time: \u2018I do consider her a progressive.\u2019 She has the Bernie Sanders seal of approval for being progressive.\n\n\u201cSo if you like San Francisco politics, you\u2019re going to love Kamala Harris. In other words, Kamala Harris is still the radical out of touch California liberal she has always been.\n\n\u201cThe American people know it and will right this ship in 55 days.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2024/09/10/daines-kamala-harris-is-still-the-radical-out-of-touch-california-liberal-she-has-always-been/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5287550631910563, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
