Trump says he will not sign bipartisan housing bill
Trump says he will hold the housing bill until Congress advances his voter ID measure, leaving the first bipartisan housing package in this Congress in limbo.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he will not sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which Congress passed on June 29 with bipartisan support.
- Trump is withholding his signature to protest the United States Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, claiming it is 'polling at 97%' with the Republican Party.
- Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., urged Trump to sign the bipartisan measure, with Kelly posting, 'He needs to stop playing games and sign the bill.'
- The housing legislation is set to become law automatically at midnight Friday if the president does not veto it; Congress would require a two-thirds majority to override a potential veto.
- Julian Zelizer, a history and public affairs professor at Princeton University, told The Washington Post that Trump's refusal signals the administration is not prioritizing bipartisan housing solutions.
