Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-24 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment is an outcome commitment to amend the Communist Control Act of 1954 so the DSA and successor organizations are treated like the Communist Party. Verified evidence shows H.R. 10501's latest action as of 2026-09-24 was only referral to the House Judiciary Committee on 2026-09-17, with no verified passage or enactment. McCormick materially advanced the effort by introducing the bill, but introduction alone does not fulfill an enactment/outcome promise, and no deadline has expired.
