House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was among 86 Democrats to vote with Republicans on a resolution denouncing socialism. The resolution was approved in a 285-98 vote, though the majority of the House Democratic Caucus voted against it.
Rep. Maria Salazar, R-FL, introduced the resolution. “Socialism is a lie. It has never delivered justice or equality, only fear, censorship, poverty, and broken nations.

The vote came as New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, was set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House.
