The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism with a vote of 285 to 98 yesterday. The resolution text stated: "House Resolution, Congress condemns all forms of socialism and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States."
86 Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including the House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He had previously refused to endorse the party's radical left-wing, democratic socialist, Mandy.
This is a symbolic statement resolution. The resolution was introduced by Florida Republican Representative Maria Salazar, who is the daughter of Cuban exiles.
The Republican Party proposed this resolution also to divide the Democratic Party's left wing and moderates. Several prominent progressive left-wing representatives of the Democratic Party, such as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Representative Maxine Waters, and Representative Rashida Tlaib, expressed opposition.
Several hours after the resolution passed, President Trump met with Mandy at the White House, and the two had a pleasant conversation.
