evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Both cited PRIMARY sources were fetched and verify the rating. The promise (2023-12-04) was an action promise: "bring the Assault Weapons Ban to the Senate floor and seek its passage" — not a promise to enact it. The judiciary.senate.gov release (dated 12.06.2023) confirms Schumer, as Senate Majority Leader, brought the Assault Weapons Ban to the Senate floor and attempted to pass it by unanimous consent, with Durbin joining, and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) objecting. The democrats.senate.gov release (dated 12.06.2023) carries Schumer's own floor remarks moving to pass the ban. Both quoted phrases appear verbatim in their respective sources. The CHAMPIONED-specific leadership test is met: the sources show Schumer LED and DROVE the effort (scheduling it, bringing it to the floor himself as Leader, delivering advocacy remarks, enlisting the Judiciary Chair) rather than merely casting a vote or lending support. Both promised components (bring to floor + seek passage) were fulfilled through his leadership; passage was blocked solely by a single Republican's objection to unanimous consent, which is outside what the promise covered. CHAMPIONED is upheld.
