The House of Representatives adopted a resolution condemning socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America on Tuesday. The vote was 220 in favour and 192 against. Eight House Democrats joined all 212 Republicans in supporting the resolution. Two Democrats voted present. The resolution was introduced by Representative Jeff Crank (R-CO). It passed after a procedural vote on the rule for debate, which narrowly passed 210-208. The resolution included language backing President Donald Trump’s priority voting rights legislation. ## Disagreement on Republican defections Reports differ on the number of Republicans who voted against the procedural rule for the resolution. Jewish Insider, 100% FED UP!, The Hill, Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion, Washington Times, The Epoch Times, RedState, Just the News, Americans for Prosperity, and ArcaMax Publishing state that all Republicans voted for the resolution. However, Washington Examiner reports that five Republicans voted against the rule, and Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion states five Republicans voted against it to protest the handling of a plan to avert a government shutdown. ## Omissions None of the left-rated digests mention the procedural rule vote that narrowly passed. None of the centre-rated digests mention the two Democrats who voted present. None of the right-rated digests mention the two Democrats who voted present. ## Who covered it Shares of the 19 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 11% (2) - Centre: 26% (5) - Right: 63% (12) 3 of 22 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Most recently checked 2026-09-02T09:30:14.414Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - The left-rated report from Raw Story led on the vote to condemn socialism, describing it as a "useless" move that was "embarrassing." The report noted the symbolic nature of the resolution, stating it had "no actual effect on public policy." It also highlighted social media reactions, quoting one observer who wrote, "Nothing has ever made me want more socialism than this." ### Centre - Centre-rated reports from Colorado Politics, The Hill, and union-bulletin.com focused on the resolution's passage and its largely party-line nature. Colorado Politics noted that Representative Jeff Crank characterized the vote as a chance for lawmakers to "stand firm" against an ideology making inroads among Democrats. The Hill highlighted that "vulnerable Democrats" voted to denounce socialism amid midterm pressure. Union-bulletin.com, Roll Call, and ArcaMax Publishing reported that the rule for debate "squeaks by" with a narrow vote, linking it to concerns about a stopgap spending bill. ### Right - Right-rated reports from Jewish Insider, 100% FED UP!, Washington Examiner, Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion, Washington Times, The Epoch Times, RedState, Just the News, Americans for Prosperity, and ArcaMax Publishing led on the vote count and the number of Democrats who supported the resolution. Jewish Insider and Just the News specifically noted that eight Democrats joined Republicans. Washington Examiner and Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion highlighted defections among Republicans on the procedural vote. New York Post published an opinion piece arguing that the Democratic Socialists of America's agenda "promises misery for all." The Iowa Standard and Americans for Prosperity framed the vote as a way to show where lawmakers "really stand" in confronting the DSA's agenda. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
