Assessments
The promise was to support the PROTECT Kids Act, not necessarily to secure final enactment. During Harris's current House term, he publicly spoke in support of H.R. 2616 and voted Aye on May 20, 2026, when the House passed the PROTECT Kids Act. The bill had not become federal law by the latest evidence, but Harris fulfilled the specific support promise within his federal office role.
The promise was to support the PROTECT Kids Act, not necessarily to enact it. Evidence shows Harris publicly backed the bill and related successor legislation during the same term, and the bill advanced through committee to the House calendar. However, the measure had not become law and remained short of full policy delivery. Because he demonstrably supported and helped advance the legislation in Congress, this is best scored as partial rather than never.
