The committee page lists "T&I Committee Approves BUILD America 250 Act" as the latest action and frames the bill as a committee-approved measure with remaining House process ahead of it.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official committee status shows the bill advanced out of committee but had not yet reached final passage or presentment, so the promise was only partially delivered as of the latest official status page.

Buchanan said he looked forward to passing the BUILD America 250 Act and sending it to President Trump’s desk, which confirms final passage and presentment had not happened yet.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The congressman’s own statement shows the goal was still future tense, so the core promise to pass the bill and send it to the President was unresolved at that point.

The evidence shows Buchanan and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advanced the BUILD America 250 Act in May 2026, and Buchanan publicly said he looked forward to passing it and sending it to President Trump’s desk. That confirms active effort and partial progress, but not final passage by both chambers or presentment to the President, so the promise was not yet fulfilled on the record provided.

The promise was to pass the BUILD America 250 Act and send it to the President's desk, meaning final congressional passage and presentment. The available evidence shows meaningful progress in 2026: the bill was announced, approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Buchanan said his priorities had advanced toward the House floor as part of the package. But Buchanan's own statement on May 26, 2026 said he looked forward to passing it and sending it to the President, confirming that outcome had not yet happened. Because there was substantial legislative advancement but not final enactment or presentment, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
