Just to note - white dudes for Harris is a real group.
I still wouldn’t click the link, I’d go direct to their site if there was an interest there, just noting that it is a real group.

For sure don’t in any way respond, just report spam and block the number. Lots of these things are phishing attempts, trying to get you to give personal information (or even money), and aren’t connected to the things they mention.

Yep, I looked them up just to see but, like you said, the fact that it exists doesn’t mean anything. I didn’t find anything (good or bad) associated with that phone number - could be spoofed.

There’s no “Report Junk” on iOS Messages unless it’s an email address texting you.

Not true—I just successfully reported this text as junk. It tries to auto-detect spam, and coming from an email address is one of the signs of that, but not the only one.

Really? I wonder why. Though I’ve always assumed the one on my phone was from Verizon, not the app or the OS.

You must have seen the older phishing attempts with caller’s named “Potential Spam”
Not sure if that technique still works but you can still mark callers as junk/spam.

Never, ever, ever respond, even reverse-uno.
Otherwise, you’ve helped them.
