Last Action Date Listed: May 22, 2025; read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Assessments
Hyde-Smith has materially advanced the promise in her current Senate term by sponsoring S.1919, the Buying American Cotton Act of 2025, and continuing to advocate for it, including securing administration support. However, the bill has not passed: the latest official status remains introduction and referral to the Senate Finance Committee on May 22, 2025. Because the promised deadline is the end of the 119th Congress, which has not yet occurred as of September 11, 2026, the outcome is not yet finally judgeable.
