Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism with a 220-192 vote, with all "no" votes coming from Democrats, including senior leaders like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
- The resolution also supported election integrity and called for the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which most Democrats oppose.
- Two House Democrats, Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, helped Republicans clear a procedural hurdle earlier in the day by voting to advance the GOP agenda, surprising Democratic leadership.
- The vote highlighted deep partisan divides, with Republicans using socialism as a campaign issue ahead of the 2026 midterms, while Democrats criticized the resolution as symbolic and unhelpful to Americans' real concerns.
- Five Republicans opposed the procedural rule vote due to disagreements over a short-term government funding bill, but all Republicans except those five ultimately voted in favor of the anti-socialism resolution.
