The promised outcome was to end or reform the Senate filibuster if needed. During Alsobrooks's Senate term beginning January 3, 2025, the Senate continued to apply the three-fifths cloture threshold, including an October 1, 2025 cloture vote that failed 47-53 despite her yea vote. She cosponsored related voting-rights legislation, but that did not pass and did not eliminate or change the filibuster. The record shows support for the policy and limited related action, but not delivery of the promised rules change or a direct successful effort to end the filibuster.
