Elizabeth Warren criticized Donald Trump for canceling a planned signing of a bipartisan housing bill and conditioning his support on passage of the SAVE America Act. She said she is already working on a follow-up housing proposal.
The article reports that Trump canceled a planned ceremony for the ROAD to Housing Act shortly before it was to become law and said he would not sign it until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The housing measure had passed both chambers with a veto-proof majority and would address barriers to affordable housing construction and private-equity purchases of homes. Warren, its primary Democratic sponsor, criticized Trump's decision and said the SAVE Act was a form of cheating.
Warren said she had worked with Republicans to build support for the housing bill and is now planning a “ROAD to Housing 2.0.” The article says the bill could still become law if Trump signs it or if a 10-day legal countdown expires without his signature.
