Colorado Lawmaker Says President Is Holding Housing Affordability Bill Hostage
The Senate approved the housing measure 85-5, but Trump canceled the signing and demanded action on his SAVE America Act first.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump canceled the signing of the Century ROAD to Housing Act, demanding Congress pass the SAVE America Act first, which he deemed a National Emergency on Truth Social.
- The Housing Act passed The House 358-32 and The Senate 85-5, addressing a critical 106,000-unit housing shortfall that has left 51% of renters cost-burdened in Colorado.
- Colorado Rep. Brittany Pettersen criticized the move, alleging the President is holding the bill hostage to "force his voter suppression bill through Congress." She called his refusal "absolutely reckless."
- Trump has 10 days to sign or veto the legislation; if Congress adjourns before that deadline, the most significant housing reform in 30 years will not become law.
- Pettersen alleged the President is "trying to rig the election" rather than address housing needs. Critics argue the standoff reflects a pattern of prioritizing political leverage over public welfare.
