Mike Johnson Says Trump Is Not Expected to Veto Housing Bill

Johnson said he would send the bipartisan housing bill to Trump after its planned signing was delayed. Coverage also links the delay to Trump's demand for action on the SAVE America Act. Left-leaning outlets pair a report on Trump's no-veto assurance with criticism after Johnson's effort to advance the SAVE America Act failed.
