“Democrats voted against denouncing Socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America platform”
Verdict: MisleadingWhile 192 House Democrats did vote against the resolution denouncing socialism and the DSA, eight Democrats voted for it and two voted present, so Trump's claim ignoring these dissenters oversimplifies the vote.
The Hill, CBS News, and the Daily Signal all report that the House passed a resolution condemning socialism and the DSA by a 220-192 vote, with eight Democrats (Golden, Gonzalez, Gluesenkamp Perez, Castor, Cuellar, Davis, Soto, Vasquez) breaking with their party to support it and two more (Houlahan, Goodlander) voting present. Trump's claim that 'Democrats voted against' denouncing socialism is true for the majority (192) but omits that a notable minority of Democrats voted for or abstained, making the blanket statement misleading without that context.
