President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing of a bipartisan housing bill and said he would not sign it until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. The move deepened tensions with Republican senators, who said the voting bill lacks enough support.
Trump said he would withhold his signature from the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voters. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there were not enough votes to pass the voting bill and praised the housing measure for increasing housing supply and credit availability. Trump’s post also appeared to surprise House Republican leaders, who had expected him to sign the housing bill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he had discussed a possible route for the voting bill through budget reconciliation with Trump. The article also reported that a federal judge ruled that many of Trump’s requested election reforms were unconstitutional.
