House resolution condemning socialism splits Democrats ahead of Zohran Mamdani’s Trump meeting

Josh Christenson / NEW YORK POST 

WASHINGTON — The House passed a resolution denouncing the “horrors of socialism” Friday, hours before democratic socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was scheduled to meet President Trump at the White House.

The concurrent resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), passed the lower chamber in a bipartisan, 285-98 vote.

All the “no” votes came from Democrats, two of whom — Janelle Bynum of Oregon and Deborah Ross of North Carolina — also voted “present.”

“Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States,” the resolution stated. Salazar’s parents fled Cuba following the takeover of Communist dictator Fidel Castro. 

“Madame Waters, for decades you traveled to Cuba dozens of times to visit Fidel Castro personally, whom you considered your friend,” Salazar said on the floor while debating the resolution with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who later voted “no.”
