evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
The cited PRIMARY source (Marshall's own Senate office) is reachable and directly documents this promise's outcome. On May 21, 2024, Marshall rose on the Senate floor and, alongside Sen. Ted Cruz, called for unanimous consent to pass H.R. 2. The page explicitly states "Senate Democrats blocked this bill from consideration," so the bill was not passed and never received a Senate vote. Marshall genuinely made the promised push (the UC request), but the objective — passing the bill to strengthen border security — failed due to a Democratic objection to the UC request, which is within normal Senate process. That is precisely ATTEMPTED: a real, in-favor effort that did not achieve the goal. It is not FULL because passage was not achieved; it is not CHAMPIONED because the source shows Marshall "joined"/"rise today to join my colleague" Cruz rather than leading, authoring, or sponsoring the request; and it is not MISALIGNED/HOSTILE because he acted in favor of the promise's aim. The cited quote was verified verbatim on the page, including the original press release's typo "languaging" and the phrase "waiting for a hearing, waiting for a vote." Minor note: Marshall's release labels the bill "Secure our Borders Act"/"Secure Borders Act" while the promise says "Secure the Border Act," but both unambiguously refer to H.R. 2 (118th Congress), so this does not affect the rating.
