The promise was to support expanding the Supreme Court, not necessarily to enact expansion. Johnson materially fulfilled that by sponsoring and introducing H.R. 3422, the Judiciary Act of 2023, which would increase the Court to 13 justices, and by continuing to include Supreme Court expansion in his official court-reform agenda. The bill did not pass, but the promised action was support, which occurred during his federal House service.
