Assessments
Duckworth materially supported the Right to Contraception Act by cosponsoring S.4381 and voting for cloture on June 5, 2024, so she clearly made a serious legislative effort. But the Senate failed to invoke cloture and the bill did not pass, so the promised outcome of helping pass the act was not delivered. Under the federal-office standard, this counts as a failed serious attempt rather than partial delivery because her support is clear but the enactment itself did not occur.
