President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing of a bipartisan housing measure, saying he would not sign it until Congress passed the SAVE America Act, a voter-identification and citizenship-proof bill. The move heightened tensions with Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune, who has said the voting bill lacks enough support to pass.
Trump announced that the housing bill’s signing event was canceled until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The proposal would require specific documents to prove U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections; Trump has also called for a mail-in ballot ban and other provisions. The White House did not immediately say whether Trump would veto the housing measure.
Thune has said it is unrealistic to pass the voting bill, and that there are not enough votes to eliminate the Senate filibuster. Sen. Rick Scott urged Republicans to hold votes on the measure, while Sen. Mike Lee used social media to call for ending the filibuster and passing it. The article describes the dispute as part of growing friction between Trump and Senate Republicans.
