Jim Justice entered the U.S. Senate in January 2025, so his federal record on this promise is brief. His central relevant action was voting Yea on July 1, 2025 for H.R. 1, the reconciliation bill (signed July 4, 2025), confirmed in the official Senate roll call (#372: "Justice (R-WV), Yea," 50-50 with the VP breaking the tie). That vote cuts against the promise's core: instead of "stopping reckless spending so those programs remain solvent," CBO scores the bill as raising the federal deficit by roughly $3.3-3.4 trillion over ten years, worsening the fiscal outlook underpinning Social Security and Medicare. Because of that deficit increase, CBO (per KFF) projects the bill would trigger about $500 billion in automatic Medicare sequestration cuts (a 4% provider cut, 2026-2034) under Statutory PAYGO unless Congress separately intervenes — cutting against "protect Medicare." On Social Security specifically, no benefits were cut (reconciliation cannot touch Social Security), so there was no direct harm, but Justice also took no affirmative action to defend either program. Although he expressed reservations, he ultimately voted for the package. Rated MISALIGNED rather than HOSTILE because he did not lead or drive a targeted effort to cut Social Security or Medicare, and the projected Medicare cuts are an automatic, historically-waived byproduct of the deficit increase rather than a direct benefit cut written into the bill. Confidence is moderate: the vote itself is definitively documented, but the judgment weighs contingent (often-waived) Medicare sequestration and the absence of any direct Social Security cut.
