ATTEMPTED is upheld. The promise was to ENACT the Demanding Citizenship in D.C. Elections Act, with Marshall asking the Senate to take it up immediately. Primary sources confirm Marshall authored/sponsored the measure and, on May 21, 2024 (the promise date), went to the Senate floor and sought unanimous consent for its immediate passage — his own Senate press release states verbatim "Senate Democrats also blocked this bill from consideration." The bill was never enacted; it was referred to committee and died at the end of the 118th Congress. The false "enacted as Public Law 118-203" claim is disproven: I independently confirmed PL 118-203 (Dec. 23, 2024) is the Federal Judiciary Stabilization Act of 2024, a district-judgeships statute unrelated to D.C. elections. Because enactment did not occur, this is not FULL/CHAMPIONED; because Marshall pushed FOR it and personally forced a floor request, it is not MISALIGNED/HOSTILE or IGNORED/ABSTAINED. A genuine, self-driven attempt that failed solely due to a partisan objection to unanimous consent is precisely ATTEMPTED. All three cited sources were reachable and support the outcome; the two quotable sources' quotes verified exactly, and the PL 118-203 source's substance verified via independent lookup (the exact Statutes-at-Large header string could not be byte-extracted from the binary PDF via automated fetch, but the law's identity, date, and unrelated subject are confirmed).
