The vote occurred just hours before new York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani,a self-described socialist,was set to meet President Donald Trump-the first meeting between the two. While Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries supported the resolution, prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opposed it.The resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, condemns socialism and highlights the deaths under socialist regimes. Mamdani, who campaigned on affordability and social justice, defeated Republican and autonomous opponents, drawing national Republican attention as they attempt to link him to Democratic candidates ahead of the 2026 elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Democrats split on vote denouncing socialism hours before Trump and Mamdani meeting<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2410249\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A majority of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-democrats\/\">House Democratic Caucus<\/a> voted against a resolution denouncing socialism on Friday, a symbolic measure passed just hours before New York Mayor-elect <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is set to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3894085\/what-to-expect-trump-oval-office-meeting-zohran-mamdani\/\">meet <\/a>with President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution from Rep.

Holding votes on a Friday typically dwindles the number of members present. However, after the 54-day House recess during the government shutdown, leadership added votes on Friday to help the chamber work through its backlog of legislative items.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Democratic leadership, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), voted to denounce socialism, whereas Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) voted against the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries&rsquo;s &ldquo;yea&rdquo; vote comes after his lukewarm endorsement of Mamdani right before the election took place at the beginning of the month. Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez has been a staunch ally of the new mayor.
