This action was seen as a breach of trust, especially as it occurred during a contentious moment with GOP hard-liners. The Democratic leaders are considering disciplinary measures and have called for a review by the Committee on Caucus Rules. The two Democrats&#8217; votes were crucial in preventing a tie on the resolution, which also involved Republican support. Both representatives, from districts previously carried by trump, later voted in favor of condemning socialism along with othre Democrats. Their decisions have prompted discussions within the party about possible repercussions for their actions.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic\/\">Democratic<\/a> leadership is vowing repercussions for two centrists who blindsided Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) by joining with Republicans on Tuesday to force a vote on condemning <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/socialism\/\">socialism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), and Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) released a statement saying the insubordination \u201cnecessitates a serious response.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4708857\/five-republicans-defected-house-rule-condemn-socialism\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>The five Republicans who defected on House rule condemning socialism<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4708478\/house-votes-censure-chuck-edwards\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>House votes to censure Chuck Edwards<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4708478\/house-votes-censure-chuck-edwards-against-his-twenty-page-letter\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>House votes to censure Chuck Edwards<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe decision by two of our colleagues to blindside the entire House Democratic Caucus and join with the Republican majority to pass a procedural rule on the brink of failing represents a significant breach of trust,\u201d the trio said in a statement. \u201cIt is an action that necessitates a serious response, and we have asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to take this up in short order.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reps. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jared-golden\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"7050\">Jared Golden<\/a> (D-ME) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) were the only Democrats to vote in favor of bringing to the full House floor a package of bills that included a GOP-led resolution denouncing socialism as well as the Democratic Socialists of America.
