ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 90%

CHAMPIONED is confirmed and correct. The Child Care for Every Community Act is Warren's own bill and she is its lead Senate author/sponsor — genuine leadership far beyond a single vote or passive support. Source 1 (fetched directly) shows Warren unveiling the legislation on Feb 8, 2023 with the promise-defining cap ("Half of families nationwide would pay no more than $10 a day for child care, and all families would see their child care costs capped") verbatim. Source 2 (fetched directly) shows her continuing to drive the effort, "led over forty lawmakers in reintroducing" it on Sept 30, 2025, with the attributed Warren quote verbatim. Source 3's press-release title ("Rep. Sara Jacobs Co-Leads Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Child Care for Every Community Act") independently confirms Warren leads it. However, the promise's literal goal — to PASS the Act guaranteeing $10/day child care — has NOT been achieved: per congress.gov/GovTrack, S.388 (118th Congress) was introduced Feb 9, 2023, read twice and referred to the HELP Committee, received no floor vote, and did not become law; the reintroduced version has likewise not advanced. Authored and led/drove but not enacted = CHAMPIONED, not FULL; and it is more than ATTEMPTED because the evidence shows sustained, unambiguous leadership.
