MAGA-Meter finds Trump kept only a minority of promises

PolitiFact's MAGA-Meter tracks 75 second-term promises and finds only about 19% kept, with roughly 45% in the works and 31% stalled, plus a 'compromise' category and one 'broken' promise (to end the Ukraine-Russia war in 24 hours). Trump has claimed to have kept all promises, citing items like first-day pardons, a tax-cut extension, and a TikTok deal, but many promises remain unfulfilled due to Congress, courts, or administration constraints. The rating framework assesses progress by measurable outcomes, not intentions, and updates ahead of the State of the Union.

Kevin McCarthy's Promises Tracked Ahead of Debt Ceiling Battle.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has managed to win over his most vocal critics on the right, but their support is conditional. McCarthy made six major promises to conservatives in January, including appointing more conservatives to powerful House panels, increasing floor power to rank-and-file members, establishing investigative committees, reining in government spending, taking action on border security, and holding a term limits vote. While he has kept some promises, others remain unfulfilled, and his performance in the upcoming debt ceiling fight will be crucial in maintaining conservative support.
