Mike Johnson said Sunday that he would send the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to Donald Trump on Monday, after the bill's progress was delayed the previous week. Johnson said it had passed both chambers and would become law. The article says the bill aims to increase housing supply, reduce development bottlenecks and limit large investors’ influence in the single-family housing market.
The article reports that Trump canceled a signing ceremony to pressure Republicans to advance the separate SAVE America Act, a voter ID proposal. It says the housing bill could become law if Trump neither signs nor vetoes it within 10 days while Congress is in session. Elizabeth Warren accused Trump of holding housing relief hostage; Mark Kelly and Hakeem Jeffries also called for immediate action. The article cites housing-cost and market data as evidence of continued affordability pressures.
