Vote Question: On Passage PROTECT Kids Act ... Vote Type: Recorded Vote ... Harris (NC) Aye
Support the PROTECT Kids Act.
Occurrences
I strongly urge my colleagues to do the same by joining me in supporting this bill.
Evidence
Press Release: "Harris Delivers Floor Remarks in Support of the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act" (May 20, 2026).
The report states: "On April 3, 2025, H.R. 2616, the PROTECT Kids Act, was re-introduced ... On April 9, 2025, the Committee considered H.R. 2616 in legislative session and reported it favorably, as amended, to the House of Representatives by a vote of 18-12."
Congress.gov identifies H.R. 2616 as the PROTECT Kids Act and shows its latest action as "House - 01/13/2026 Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 377." The tracker still shows the bill status as Introduced.
GovInfo lists H.R. 2616 as Bill Version: Engrossed in House, with Last Action Date Listed May 20, 2026, and short title Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act.
The House Clerk roll-call index lists Roll 184 on 20-May for H.R. 2616, question On Passage, result P, title PROTECT Kids Act.
The committee report states that H.R. 2616, the PROTECT Kids Act, was re-introduced on April 3, 2025, and that on April 9, 2025, the Committee considered H.R. 2616 and reported it favorably, as amended, by a vote of 18-12.
Congress.gov identifies the measure as H.R. 2616 - PROTECT Kids Act and its legislative tracker still shows steps remaining after House action: Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law.
The House Clerk roll-call page for the lookback period lists House votes from June 8 through June 30, 2026, including rolls 209 through 233, with no H.R. 2616 vote shown in that period.
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.
