Assessments

evidence-backed verdicts

These are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.

Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 83%

Both cited PRIMARY sources (official U.S. Senate roll-call pages, 119th Congress) were fetched and verified. Vote 605 confirms Eric Chunyee Tung to the Ninth Circuit, 52-45, with "Justice (R-WV), Yea." Vote 588 confirms Rebecca L. Taibleson to the Seventh Circuit, 52-46, with "Justice (R-WV), Yea." Both are Trump-era Article III circuit-court nominees confirmed on near-party-line votes — precisely the judicial confirmations the promise concerns. The quotes in the rating are faithful to the page content (nominee, court, tally, and Justice's Yea vote each appear). For a rank-and-file freshman senator not on the Judiciary Committee, voting Yea to confirm these nominees is the mechanism by which the promise "to fight to confirm federal judges" is kept, so FULL (not CHAMPIONED — no authoring/sponsoring/leading is shown; not PARTIAL — both verified votes are consistent Yea) is the correct outcome. Confidence is held slightly below the original 0.85 because only two roll calls were verified rather than Justice's entire slate of judicial votes, but nothing in the evidence contradicts the FULL rating.
