delivered later_term

Rand Paul promised in his 2010 federal Senate campaign to vote for legislation that would end abortion or move the country toward ending abortion. The evidence shows that, while serving as U.S. Senator after that campaign, he voted Yea on Senate measures in 2026 related to restricting Medicaid payments to abortion providers and advancing the Pregnant Students' Rights Act. Because the promise was framed as a voting commitment rather than requiring final enactment, these later Senate votes satisfy the promised action in federal office.
