Trump cancels signing of bipartisan US housing bill
The move could delay a bipartisan measure to boost housing supply and curb corporate homebuying, even as it passed Congress by wide margins.
- President Donald Trump canceled the signing of a bipartisan housing bill that had passed the Senate 85-5 and the House 358-32, demanding Congress first pass the SAVE America Act, a voter identification law lacking sufficient Senate support.
- The housing bill aimed to ease federal regulations on manufactured homes, limit private equity or institutional investors from inflating housing prices or buying single-family homes, and speed up construction and environmental reviews to boost affordable housing supply.
- Senators and Representatives expressed frustration and confusion over Trump's decision, noting it could be seen as a hostage tactic and that Congress might override a veto, with housing affordability a major voter concern ahead of upcoming midterm elections.
- Senate Republicans remain divided over supporting the housing bill versus Trump's demand for the voter ID law, facing internal tensions and uncertain leadership as midterm elections approach.
