"The initiative (Progress 2028) is really trying to undermine Harris by spreading divisive messages, misleading narratives under the guise of being an ally of Harris," said Anna Massoglia, from Open Secrets, a US nonprofit that tracks money in politics.
Using a mix of fact and fiction, the site distorts some of Harris's policy positions in a way that 'Democratic voting blocs might not find favorable,' Massoglia told AFP.
Researchers say Progress 2028 -- purportedly a liberal counter to the conservative initiative Project 2025 -- is riddled with misinformation and is behind a series of Facebook ads that distort the Democratic contender's policy positions.
Progress 2028 reads like it was written by a liberal Democrat, promising that an administration run by Harris will be a 'never-before-seen opportunity' to enact 'sweeping reforms' and build a 'prosperous America.'
