Assessments
Senator McCormick co-introduced and advanced legislation (the Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act) that directly addresses the campaign promise by mandating U.S. support for Taiwan's IMF membership if Taiwan pursues it. The bill moved through key legislative stages, including passage in the House, advancement by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and placement on the Senate Legislative Calendar. However, there is no evidence that the legislation was fully enacted or that the U.S. Governor of the IMF has acted on it. Thus, the promise saw substantial, documented effort and partial delivery, but the final outcome remains incomplete.
Senator McCormick co-introduced and championed the Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act, which specifically requires the U.S. Governor of the IMF to support Taiwan's admission if sought. The bill advanced through key legislative stages: introduction, committee approval, passing the House, and being placed on the Senate calendar. However, as of the latest evidence, the bill has not yet become law, so the promise to require U.S. action is not fully delivered. Nevertheless, significant legislative effort and progress toward delivery occurred within the same term.
