The promise was to keep standing up for an end to Trump administration plans to privatize Social Security. Verified evidence does not show the overall privatization-related plans were ended; one passage describes a continuing 'back door for privatizing Social Security.' However, verified evidence supports a documented partial outcome attributable to Larson: his issue page says his actions led the administration to walk back initial plans to cut phone service and close field offices. His introduction of Social Security 2100 also supports material effort in the same term, but introduction alone does not fulfill the broader outcome promise.
