Raven Harrison, a Republican running for U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz's District 23 seat, which includes parts of Broward and Palm Beach Counties, entered the national conversation thanks to a viral post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that suggests she has evidence that former President Joe Biden's face is a synthetic mask.
"BREAKING: Raven Harrison, a U.S. House candidate from Florida, claims to have uncovered evidence suggesting that Joe Biden's face is a synthetic mask controlled by a robotic clone," the post, which garnered almost 10,000 likes on X, reads.
It appears the viral post references Harrison's tweet, which points to a video that she says shows Biden wearing a mask. After Trump promoted the conspiracy on his Truth Social account on May 31, Harrison swiftly jumped on the right-wing conspiracy theory, claiming that a robotic clone replaced Biden, who died in 2020 (duh!).BREAKING: Raven Harrison, a U.S. House candidate from Florida, claims to have uncovered evidence suggesting that Joe Biden's face is a synthetic mask controlled by a robotic clone. pic.twitter.com/Ynf1IO5NBD

"What is going here with Biden's face, with his skin?!", Harrison wrote on X. "Is that not a mask?! What do you think, patriots? 🤔"
Harrison responded to a New Times inquiry with a written statement Thursday evening. "I never made the claim that Biden’s face is a synthetic mask. In a social media post I asked IF he was wearing a mask. I specifically asked what others thought," she wrote. "How a simple question got to clones and robots I will never know, but shame on the person who lied and twisted what was asked on my social media account to get themselves some clicks."What is going here with Biden’s face, with his skin?!

Harrison, a Boca Raton resident, calls herself a "conservative warrior" and a "fearless advocate" for Christian values on her campaign website.
"Raised in a disciplined military family and rising through the ranks of the corporate marketing world, she has consistently demonstrated her unwavering commitment to faith, family, and patriotism," her bio reads. "Mentored by marketing legend David Ogilvy, she went on to manage high-profile campaigns for global brands."
(Notably, David Ogilvy, widely known as the "father of advertising," died in 1999.)
Before becoming a successful marketing executive, she says she skipped two grades, went to college at 16, and graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia.
In 2022, Harrison unsuccessfully ran for the state's 26th congressional district seat as a third-generation Texan who lives in Frisco. During the Republican primary, she received only 5.5 percent of the vote.
But Texas' loss could be our gain.
These days, she says she hosts her podcast, Raven's Radar. "Coming from a world view baptized in Christianity and Patriotism," the podcast's bio reads, "Raven will provide vision and clarity in a world full of misinformation and half-truths."
She's also a contributor for various local Fox News Radio stations. And Harrison published a memoir titled, of course, Raven's Mantle: Fighting the Betrayal of America, in 2023, in which she discusses "growing up in war zones, having a parent in the Pentagon on September 11, and being injured in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre" after a gunman on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino shot at a crowd attending a country musical festival.
Her campaign website does not mention anything related to her connection to the Las Vegas shooting.
"Raven, a Native American black woman, was raised by fighters who instilled in her that 'Freedom is never free,'" the book's summary reads. "Now, she's taking on the ills of society for a better America. Raised by patriots. Called by God. Deterred by nothing. Raven Harrison is the conservative warrior!"
