The U.S. House of Representatives adopted a resolution on September 1, 2026, sponsored by Representative Jeff Crank (R-CO), to denounce socialism "in all its forms" in a 220–192 vote.
The Vote: Passed 220–192, with eight Democrats joining Republicans in favor and two voting present.
H.Res.1490 explicitly condemns socialism, specifically naming the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and opposes implementing socialist policies
in the U.S.
The text calls for the enactment of the GOP-backed SAVE America Act (requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote) and reaffirms support for constitutional government.
Political Context: Reported as a symbolic messaging push by Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections following primary wins by democratic socialist candidates, while Democrats criticized the measure as a performative distraction from cost-of-living issues.
