Track campaign promises across recent administrations.
Search campaign promises by president, cycle, topic, status, outcome, source, and review date. The tracker now starts at Bush 2000, continues through Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump’s second-term tracker, and opens on the table for faster review.

How to read the statuses
A promise can be kept, broken, compromised, stalled, or in the works. The source link on each row lets readers check the original tracking page.
Promise Kept
The outcome substantially matches the campaign promise.
Compromise
Some action happened, but the final result was partial or changed.
Promise Broken
The promised action did not happen or moved in the opposite direction.
In the Works
Action is underway, but the final result is not settled yet.
Connect promises to votes and bills.
Use bill summaries and voting records to see how campaign promises connect to actual public action.
