5/21/26 Kennedy, Warner introduce bipartisan legislation to modernize the Federal Reserve Discount Window
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation on the Federal Reserve discount window, not necessarily to enact a final law. In May 2026, Kennedy introduced bipartisan legislation with Sen. Warner to modernize the discount window, which is direct, material support for the stated policy goal and satisfies the promise within his current Senate term.
