Assessments
McDonald Rivet materially advanced the promise by introducing the HOT Rotisserie Chicken Act and helping secure House adoption of language making hot rotisserie chicken SNAP-eligible in the House-passed 2026 farm bill. However, the available record shows only House passage and a Senate companion bill referral, not final enactment into federal law or implemented SNAP eligibility nationwide. Because the promised policy outcome was advanced substantially but not fully completed in law, this is best scored as partial in the same term.
