BLS reported that CPI-U increased 0.5 percent in May 2026 and that over the last 12 months the all-items index increased 4.2 percent before seasonal adjustment.

Inflation was still positive and elevated in May 2026, so the broad promise to end runaway inflation was not fulfilled by the latest available CPI release before July 1, 2026.

BLS reported that the all-items index rose 4.2 percent for the 12 months ending May 2026, after rising 3.8 percent for the 12 months ending April; core CPI rose 2.9 percent over the year.

The inflation rate rose from April to May 2026 and core inflation also remained above zero, weighing against a finding that runaway inflation had ended.

The Federal Reserve FAQ states that the FOMC judges 2 percent inflation over the longer run, measured by the annual change in the PCE price index, as most consistent with its mandate.

Congress.gov shows H.R.347 passed the House on March 1, 2023, then in the Senate was read a second time and placed on the legislative calendar on March 6, 2023. The bill would require inflation estimates for certain executive orders.

This was a concrete anti-inflation legislative effort during Bean’s first term, but it passed only the House and did not become law, so it does not deliver the promised outcome.

Congress.gov shows H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, had the status Passed House after a 225-204 vote on March 30, 2023, and describes provisions to increase American energy production, exports, infrastructure, and critical minerals processing.

Because energy costs are a component of inflation, this House-passed bill is relevant evidence of concrete action, but it did not become law and therefore did not fulfill the promise.
