Assessments
McBride introduced H.R. 7505 in the 119th Congress, a bill matching the promise to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to allow all leave to be taken intermittently. The record shows introduction and committee referral only, with no passage, enactment, or implementation. This is a serious same-term legislative effort but not delivery of the promised statutory change.
McBride materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 7505 on February 11, 2026, a bill matching the pledge to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act so all leave could be taken intermittently. But the official record shows the measure was referred to committee and had not passed or been enacted during the current congressional term as of the latest available evidence in late May 2026. Because she is still serving and the exact promised policy has not yet been delivered, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
Sarah McBride introduced H.R. 7505 on February 11, 2026, which matched the pledge to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to allow all leave on an intermittent schedule. The bill was referred to committee and did not advance to passage or enactment in the evidence provided, so the promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious legislative attempt.
McBride took concrete action on the promise by introducing H.R. 7505 in the 119th Congress to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to allow all leave to be taken on an intermittent schedule. However, the available evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or further advancement establishing that the promised policy change occurred. Because she is still in office and the term is ongoing, the promise is not yet resolved. The introduction does show meaningful effort.
