Congress.gov lists H.R. 3762 as "Vetoed by President" and "Failed to pass over veto."

The 2015 repeal bill Daines supported advanced to the president but did not become law, so it shows concrete effort rather than full ACA repeal.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was framed as continuing to fight for ACA repeal, not necessarily securing full repeal. During the same Senate term, Daines joined full-repeal legislation, voted for the 2015 ACA repeal reconciliation bill that passed Congress but was vetoed, supported the 2017 Health Care Freedom Act amendment, and backed tax legislation that eliminated the ACA individual mandate penalty. Full ACA repeal was not enacted, but the promised continued federal legislative fight was clearly carried out, with one partial repeal component becoming law.

The promise was framed as an effort commitment to continue fighting for ACA repeal, not as a guarantee that full repeal would become law. During the same Senate term, Daines joined full-repeal legislation, voted for the 2015 ACA repeal reconciliation bill, supported the 2017 Health Care Freedom Act repeal amendment, and backed tax legislation that eliminated the ACA individual mandate penalty. Full ACA repeal did not occur, but the promised continued fight was carried out through concrete legislative action.
