Assessments
Ciscomani’s first House speaker vote in the 118th Congress was for Kevin McCarthy on January 3, 2023. In federal campaign context, the promise meant using his first congressional vote to help replace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker with a Republican speaker. Pelosi was no longer the Democratic nominee by that vote, but voting for McCarthy was the relevant procedural act to end Democratic/Pelosi speakership control and elect her Republican successor. This counts as delivered in the same term rather than a literal failure for not casting a vote directly against Pelosi by name.
