Jeffries blindsided after two House Democrats join GOP to force vote on denouncing socialism

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was blindsided Tuesday when several House Democrats joined Republicans to force a vote denouncing socialism. In a 220-192 vote, eight House Democrats voted with Republicans to condemn the Democratic Socialists of America and socialism in all its forms. This action, including votes from Reps. Marie Glusenkemp Perez and Jared Golden, highlights the ongoing ideological conflict between the Democratic Party establishment and its insurgent socialist wing within the House of Representatives.
