Two Dems Defy Party on Key Vote | US News

Two Democratic reps defy party lines by voting with Republicans on a procedural vote that included a GOP anti-socialism resolution and a pro-Trump bill — sparking outrage from leadership who call it a “breach of trust” and demand an investigation. Jared Golden, retiring soon, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, in a GOP-leaning district, both cite their co-sponsored lobstermen protection bill as justification. While some Dems like Jared Huffman push for harsh penalties — even committee removal — the real consequences may be minimal given their political futures. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is reportedly meeting with Jared Kushner to explore bipartisan cooperation on housing and immigration — a move that’s already drawing fire from progressives.
