Assessments
Soto sponsored H.R. 3310 and filed a March 19, 2026 discharge petition to force House consideration of H.Res. 1046, the procedural vehicle for a vote on the Venezuela TPS Act of 2025. That was a serious same-term attempt. But the live House Clerk record shows only 145 signatures as of July 22, 2026, well short of the 218 needed to compel House action, and Congress.gov still lists H.R. 3310 as only introduced and referred, with no House floor vote. Because the promised forced vote has not occurred, the promise is not delivered, though the effort badge is warranted.
Soto materially pursued the promise by introducing H.R. 3310 and filing a discharge petition on March 19, 2026 to force House consideration. But the official House Clerk record shows the petition stalled at 143 signatures, well short of the 218 required to compel a vote, and Congress.gov/GovInfo show no House floor vote occurred. Because he made a serious procedural attempt but did not actually force a House vote, the promise was not delivered.
Darren Soto formally filed a discharge petition on March 19, 2026 to force a House vote on H.R. 3310, but the petition never reached the 218 signatures needed. The official Clerk record still showed only 143 signatures as of May 21, 2026, so no House vote was forced. This is a serious procedural attempt that failed to deliver the promised outcome.
Soto made a serious procedural attempt to force a House vote by sponsoring and filing a discharge petition for H.R. 3310 in March 2026. But the petition never reached the 218 signatures required to compel floor action, topping out at 143 signatures as of May 21, 2026, and the bill remained at introduced/referral status with no House vote. Under the rule for failed but substantial legislative attempts, this counts as never delivered with effort credit.
Darren Soto filed and continued a discharge petition to force a House vote on H.R. 3310, which is a concrete and serious procedural attempt, but the petition never reached the 218 signatures needed and no House vote was forced. That makes the promise unfulfilled despite substantial effort.
Soto materially acted on the promise by filing a formal discharge petition on March 19, 2026 to try to force House consideration of the Venezuela TPS Act of 2025. That is a concrete procedural step directly aimed at obtaining the promised House vote. However, the available official evidence shows the petition had only 31 signatures and required 218, and the bill remained at introduced/referred status with no House floor vote shown. Because he made a serious attempt but did not actually secure the vote, the promise was only partially fulfilled rather than delivered.
