Most House Dems Vote Against Crackdown On Foreign Influence In US Schools

The measure passed 247–164, with 33 Democrats joining Republicans in support and 164 Democrats voting against it

Republicans said the measures were commonsense efforts to prevent harmful foreign influence in U. S. schools.

Democrats, however, criticized both bills during floor debate, claiming they had concerns about their scope and potential unintended consequences. Some tried to paint Republicans as racists and bigots, which is par for the Democrat course.
