Frist left the Senate in 2007, did he honor his pledge to serve more terms thereafter?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Unsure

  • Irrelevant

Answer

No, Frist did not honor his pledge to serve more terms after leaving the Senate in 2007. Despite promising to serve at least one more term during his 2002 re-election campaign, Frist abruptly announced his retirement in early 2006, citing "personal and family considerations" as his reasons for leaving. His decision to leave before fulfilling his pledge led to criticism and accusations of breaking his promise to Tennesseans.
