House Democrats split on vote denouncing socialism hours before Trump and Mamdani meeting

Published



A majority of the House Democratic Caucus voted against a resolution denouncing socialism on Friday, a symbolic measure passed just hours before New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with President Donald Trump.

The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution from Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) to denounce “the horrors of socialism” 285-98-2. Two Democrats, Reps. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) and Deborah Ross (D-NC) voted present, and 86 Democrats joined all Republicans in voting for the measure.
