From Fox News: The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning socialism Friday morning, with several Democrats crossing the aisle to rebuke “socialist policies” in the U.S. following Zohran Mamdani’s recent election as the mayor-elect of New York City.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure in a 285-98 vote. Two members, Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Pa., and Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., voted present.
Notably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. — who endorsed Mamdani just days before the mayoral election — also voted in favor of the measure.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., highlights a list of the economic system’s failures and serves as a rebuke of political forces inching toward more socialist platforms.

“Resolved by the House of Representatives that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States,” the text reads.
98 Democrats in all voted “no” on the resolution to condemn socialism, including all the progressive ‘Squad’ congress members. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also voted “no”, refusing to stand against socialism. CLICK HERE to see the full list of the Democrats who voted “no,” and thereby, stood with the socialists.
While speaking on the House floor ahead of the vote, Salazar called out Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters for her previous friendship with the late Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro.

How ironic that Maxine Waters is the loudest opponent to my bill condemning socialism today.
I know why: even after visiting Cuba several times and seeing Afro-Cubans tortured in the streets, she never condemned it.
And now, following the playbook of the very regime she… pic.twitter.com/T6emcTFdZO

Salazar later announced, “The House just passed my resolution condemning socialism, 285-98! 98 radical Democrats voted against historical facts and refused to condemn Mao, Stalin, Castro, and Maduro. Warning to America: 🚨ALERT: More Democrats in the House of Representatives support socialism than oppose it 🤯”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) then announced he will lead a similar effort in the Senate.
