Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to support a democratic path for territories to become states, not to ensure statehood was completed. During his Senate term, Warnock materially supported that goal by cosponsoring the Washington, D.C. Admission Act and the Puerto Rico Status Act, both concrete legislative measures creating or advancing statehood pathways through democratic processes. That satisfies the promise within the same term.
