The Senate schedule listed only pro forma sessions for September 8 and September 10, with the next vote set for September 14.
Assessments
Moore materially advanced the Protecting Domestic Mining Act during his current House term by co-introducing H.R. 1501, helping secure House passage on September 2, 2026, and publicly urging Senate passage. However, the promise specifically references Senate passage, and the available evidence through September 8, 2026 shows the bill had not passed the Senate and was not scheduled for immediate Senate legislative action. This merits partial credit for concrete same-term support and advancement, but not full delivery of the Senate-passage outcome.
