Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

Booker won the 2014 Senate race for the 2015-2021 term and, during that same term, was an original cosponsor of S.Res.6 in January 2017. That resolution closely matched the promise by affirming U.S. policy favoring direct bilateral Israeli-Palestinian negotiations toward a sustainable two-state solution. His same-term cosponsorship of Israel-related resolutions and anti-boycott legislation also supported the Israel-recognition and legitimacy components. Because the promise was to support U.S. efforts, not personally secure a final peace agreement, these actions are enough for delivery in the same term.
