Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 95%

Both cited PRIMARY sources are reachable and document exactly this outcome for this promise. The Senate Commerce Committee release names "Mark Warner (D-Va.)" as a cosponsor of the Kids Off Social Media Act and states the bill would "Prohibit children under the age of 13 from creating or maintaining social media accounts" and "Prohibit social media companies from pushing targeted content using algorithms to users under the age of 17" — the provision language matches the rating verbatim. The Schatz office page (lead sponsor's site) independently lists "Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.)" among the cosponsors and confirms the same age-13 and under-17 algorithmic provisions. The promise was to "join the bipartisan Kids Off Social Media Act," and Warner cosponsored it, which is precisely joining. FULL rather than CHAMPIONED is correct: Warner is one of several cosponsors of a bill led by Cruz and Schatz, not the lead sponsor/driver, so no leadership-level claim is asserted and none is needed. The evidence is not overstated. Rating upheld.
