The House of Representatives approved a resolution condemning the “horrors of socialism” Friday morning in a vote that sharply divided Democratic lawmakers.

Lawmakers voted 285 to 98 in favor of the measure offered by Republican Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, the daughter of Cuban exiles, that denounced socialism in “all its forms” and socialist policies in the United States. More than seven dozen Democrats backed the resolution, including House Democratic leadership. (RELATED: ‘Question Of How We Do It’: Mamdani Punts When Asked How He’ll Fund Chief Campaign Promise)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who is viewed as a leader of the Democratic Party’s left flank, opposed the measure condemning socialism.

Two Democratic lawmakers, North Carolina Rep. Deborah Ross and Oregon Rep. Janelle Bynum, voted “present” on the resolution.
