Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently verified via congress.gov: H.R. 2763 (119th Congress) is titled the 'American Family Act' — the exact bill named in the promise — and its primary sponsor is 'Rep. DeLauro, Rosa L. [D-CT-3] (Introduced 04/09/2025),' referred to House Ways and Means, with 213 cosponsors. The DelBene House.gov press release independently confirms DeLauro co-led the reintroduction with Reps. DelBene and Torres of legislation to 'make permanent the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), which provided families with monthly payments of up to $300 per child.' DeLauro is the long-time House author/lead sponsor of this bill, actively driving the effort well beyond a single supporting vote. It has not been enacted — it remains in committee, and the Republican-controlled Congress instead passed a different, non-monthly, only-partially-refundable CTC in the 2025 tax law. Leading/authoring the named legislation without full enactment is CHAMPIONED (+0.75). Nonpartisan check: a member of either party who is primary sponsor of a signature bill matching their promise but that did not pass would receive the same label. The prior rating's govtrack source was swapped for the directly-verified congress.gov primary page; outcome and confidence stand.
