The 2026 roll call list shows H. Con. Res. 75 on 14-May as 'On Agreeing to the Resolution' and failed, and H. Con. Res. 40 on 16-Apr as 'On Agreeing to the Resolution' and failed.

The House roll call index corroborates that War Powers resolutions were brought to the floor and voted on during the period, but both attempts failed.

The House reconvened during the lookback window and held another War Powers vote, but the resolution failed by a wide margin, so the requested congressional action occurred without delivering the underlying outcome.

50 U.S.C. 1544(c) provides that U.S. forces engaged in unauthorized hostilities outside U.S. territory shall be removed if Congress directs removal by concurrent resolution.

The War Powers framework McBride invoked allows Congress to direct removal of forces through a concurrent resolution, establishing the relevant mechanism for judging the promise.

On June 3, 2026, the House passed H.Con.Res.86, directing removal of U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran, by 215-208. McBride voted Yea.

The House later passed the specific type of Iran War Powers resolution McBride called for, and she voted in favor, satisfying the House-vote component of the promise.

On June 23, 2026, the Senate agreed to H.Con.Res.86, a War Powers concurrent resolution on hostilities with Iran, by 50-48.

The Senate also approved the House-passed Iran War Powers concurrent resolution in the same term, showing bicameral congressional action occurred.

On June 24, 2026, the Senate rejected a motion to proceed to S.J.Res.185, another Iran War Powers measure, by 47-50-1.

A later, separate Senate War Powers effort failed, showing continued but incomplete congressional attempts beyond the bicameral H.Con.Res.86 vote.

AP reported that the June 24 measure failed after a similar War Powers measure had passed, and characterized the measures as largely symbolic.

Reputable reporting confirms the sequence of a passed Iran War Powers resolution followed by a failed similar measure, while noting limits on practical legal force, supporting a partial rather than unequivocal prevention outcome.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Congress did reconvene and vote on multiple War Powers resolutions during McBride's same federal term. After earlier failed House votes, the House passed H.Con.Res.86 on June 3, 2026, with McBride voting Yea, and the Senate agreed to it on June 23, 2026. The practical anti-war effect may have been limited, but the promised congressional War Powers vote and bicameral passage occurred in the same term.

partial same_term

The House did reconvene and vote on multiple War Powers resolutions during the same term, so the procedural action McBride called for did occur. But the resolutions failed, meaning the broader promised result of using a War Powers measure to stop the administration from being drawn into another war was not achieved. The evidence also does not show McBride personally sponsored or materially advanced a successful outcome, so this is better scored as partial rather than full delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

The promise called for Congress to reconvene and vote on a War Powers Resolution to stop the administration from entering another war. The evidence shows the House did in fact hold floor votes on War Powers resolutions in April and May 2026, so the requested congressional action of reconvening and voting occurred during McBride's term. However, both resolutions failed, so the underlying promised outcome of actually preventing the administration through a successful War Powers measure was not achieved. That supports partial rather than full delivery. The available evidence does not specifically establish McBride as the lead sponsor or principal driver, so full credit is not warranted on candidate-specific grounds.
