A House bill to expand the definition of antisemitism passed with a clear majority but still met opposition from 21 Republicans and 70 Democrats.

In all, 320 representatives voted in favor of the bill, most of them Republicans. However, though the bill was largely focused on recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, some provisions caused Republicans to oppose it. One of the foremost concerns was the First Amendment protection of free speech, which some Republicans claimed was violated by the bill.
