House Condemns Socialism in Bipartisan Vote Hours Before Mamdani Arrives in D.C.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a resolution Friday morning condemning socialism, with several Democrats crossing the aisle to rebuke “socialist policies” gaining ground in the U.S. following the election of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The measure passed 285–98, with 86 Democrats joining Republicans. Two Democrats — Reps. Deborah Ross of Pennsylvania and Janelle Bynum of Oregon — voted present. In a notable move, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who endorsed Mamdani days before the election, also voted in favor.

Introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL), the resolution outlines the historic failures of socialism, naming regimes under Castro in Cuba, Mao in China, and Maduro in Venezuela, citing famine, oppression, and mass murder.

The text reads: “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.”

While nonbinding, the rebuke lands at a pivotal moment. Progressive figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continue pushing greater government control over healthcare and education, while Mamdani, a self-described socialist, prepares to meet with President Donald Trump on Friday.

The vote signals rising resistance to socialism — and a growing willingness to say so publicly.

Socialism has NO PLACE in America 🇺🇸

Today, House Republicans were PROUD to support a measure REJECTING socialism and all the lies of socialists.
