Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to block the SAVE Act in the Senate. During Schumer's same Senate term, he publicly led Democratic opposition to the bill as voter suppression legislation, and the Senate rejected cloture on the SAVE Act vehicle on March 26, 2026, preventing it from advancing. Because the promised outcome was blocking Senate advancement, and Schumer materially participated as Senate Democratic leader, this counts as delivered in the same term. The effort badge is warranted because he made a serious, public legislative effort to organize opposition.
