The House FY27 bill-text page listed the Defense Subcommittee item as “Forthcoming.”

Inference: because Defense bill text/report were still forthcoming, the House had not completed action rejecting or replacing the FY2027 defense proposal by the assessment date.

The FY2027 Defense Bill subcommittee markup was scheduled for Thursday, June 11, 2026.

The official House schedule placed the Defense markup after May 31, 2026, supporting that the budget had not yet been finally rejected by Congress.

Murphy publicly opposed Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion FY2027 defense budget and used the Senate defense appropriations process for oversight, which shows real same-term effort. But the evidence indicates the FY2027 defense appropriations process was still ongoing as of May 31, 2026, with House defense markup scheduled after that date and bill text still forthcoming. There is no completed congressional rejection or enacted alternative yet, so the promise is not delivered or failed; it remains unresolved.
