Apparently, the House passed a resolution condemning socialism by a vote of 220 to 192, with two members voting present. Eight Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the resolution, while most House Democrats, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted against it. The resolution also expressed support for the SAVE America Act. CBS News⁠Before the final vote, Democratic Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez joined Republicans to rescue a separate procedural rule that was close to failing. Jeffries accused those two Democrats of blindsiding their caucus and called their decision a significant breach of trust. His statement was about their procedural-rule votes, not the two members who later voted present on the anti-socialism resolution.The episode shows a growing divide inside the Democratic Party over socialism, election rules, and party discipline. Jeffries appears especially angry that two members helped Republicans move the legislation forward, but critics may ask why condemning socialism became such a difficult vote in the first place. #hakeemjeffries #socialism #congress
