Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce the Tax the Grift Act, not to enact it. Official bill metadata and text show Mark Pocan sponsored and introduced H.R. 9075, titled the Tax the Grift Act, on May 29, 2026, and the text matches the promised 100 percent tax on covered payouts. Because Pocan is an active federal representative and introduced it during the relevant term, this counts as delivered in the same term.
