Assessments
Booker won the 2014 U.S. Senate race and, during that resulting Senate term, repeatedly voted in line with abortion-rights positions by opposing cloture on federal abortion restriction bills, including H.R. 36 in 2015 and S. 2311 in 2018. The promise was broad support for abortion rights as a senator, not enactment of a specific law, so these same-term Senate votes are sufficient to count as delivered.
