H.R. 5334, the “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026,” which authorizes and expands statutory sanctions, tariffs, and prohibitions on Russia
Assessments
The commitment was an action promise to refuse expanded tariff authority for President Trump, not a promise to block enactment. Verified evidence shows McCollum voted against legislation described as handing expanded tariff powers to Trump, and the bill context involved expanded statutory tariffs. Her own Nay vote materially fulfilled the refusal in the same term, even though the broader legislation later became law.
