PartialFact-checker reviewConfidence: 70%

Independently re-verified both cited Wikipedia sources: they are real, live, and accurately support the prior rating. As House Majority Leader from January 2023, Scalise controlled the House floor schedule and drove the GOP's return-to-regular-order, single-subject appropriations strategy, bringing multiple individual appropriations bills to the floor and passing several. However, the promised deliverable was not met: for FY2024 only a few single-subject bills passed the House (e.g., HR 4821/4364/4394 before the deadline), and the government was funded by four continuing resolutions plus two minibus packages (a $459B six-bill package and a $1.2T package in March 2024) rather than all 12 individual bills under regular order; for FY2025 the House passed only about five bills individually along party lines and stalled on the rest, and the government ultimately ran on a full-year continuing resolution enacted in March 2025. A traditional single omnibus was avoided in FY2024, but member-driven single-subject regular-order funding was never delivered. This is genuine partial delivery of a two-part process promise. A CHAMPIONED reading is defensible given Scalise's clear leadership role, but PARTIAL is the neutral, non-lenient call because both concrete deliverables (all 12 bills + regular-order funding, not omnibus/CR) measurably fell short; applying the same standard to either party, a leader who drove but only partly delivered this outcome earns PARTIAL. No partisan distortion found; rating stands.
