Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

McCormick made concrete same-term efforts aligned with the promise, including introducing technology-focused legislation, cosponsoring innovation-related research legislation, chairing an AI infrastructure hearing, and pushing for changes to AI export rules. However, the record provided does not show a broad delivered outcome of growing the economy through entrepreneurship and innovation, nor passage of a major entrepreneurship or innovation-growth package. The promise is therefore best rated as partially fulfilled through promotion and policy activity rather than fully delivered.
