The promise was to support the Momnibus Act, not necessarily secure enactment. In the federal Senate context, Cortez Masto fulfilled that commitment by introducing the Momnibus Act with Senator Booker and being listed as a cosponsor of S. 5283 in the 119th Congress during her current Senate term. The bill had only been referred to committee, so this does not prove enactment, but it does satisfy the pledged action of support.
