Official release says McCormick and Hickenlooper formed the caucus on September 10, 2026, with planned briefings, roundtables, policy conversations, and a September 14 Capitol kickoff.
Assessments
McCormick, while serving in the Senate, announced formation of the Senate Bipartisan Science and Innovation Caucus with Senator Hickenlooper and described planned briefings, roundtables, policy conversations, and a Capitol kickoff. This materially advances the promised forum, but as of September 12, 2026, the kickoff and any actual hosted briefings or roundtables were still future-dated, so the promised ongoing use of the caucus has not yet been fully delivered.
