House Passes Resolution Denouncing Socialism and the DSA

Including a call to enact the SAVE America Act, the GOP-authored measure turns a symbolic denunciation into campaign fodder.

Overview

  • The House adopted the Republican-led, nonbinding resolution on Tuesday in a 220-192-2 vote that explicitly names the Democratic Socialists of America and condemns socialism.
  • Republicans inserted language that calls for enactment of the SAVE America Act, a proof-of-citizenship voter ID bill that Democrats say would suppress voting and that remains stalled in the Senate.
  • The package reached the floor after a narrow 210-208 procedural rule vote that passed when Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez joined Republicans, even as several Republicans briefly defected on the rule.
  • Democratic leaders said they were blindsided by the procedural crossovers and have opened discussions about possible discipline for those members who helped advance the measure.
  • The resolution is symbolic but likely to be used as fall campaign messaging, and it highlights sharp tensions between Democratic centrists who wanted a clean denunciation and party leaders who rejected the SAVE Act rider.
