The measure is scheduled for consideration by the House Rules Committee on Monday, setting up an expected floor vote after Congress reconvenes. It would need a simple majority to pass.
The House passed a separate resolution condemning socialism last year, but Crank's measure specifically singles out the DSA and links the issue to election policy and the SAVE America Act.
The vote comes as Republicans seek to make socialism a midterm campaign issue amid gains by DSA-backed and other left-wing candidates in Democratic races around the country. Republicans are expected to emphasize the issue at their Sept. 9-10 midterm convention in Dallas.
