Trump says he will not sign bipartisan housing bill
The measure would lower housing costs and boost construction, and it passed Congress by wide bipartisan margins, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he will not sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which Congress passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in June.
- Trump is withholding his signature to protest the United States Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, which he claims is "polling at 97%" with the Republican Party.
- Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., urged the president to sign, with Kelly posting, "He needs to stop playing games and sign the bill so more Americans can finally afford homes."
- The housing legislation is set to become law automatically at midnight Saturday without Trump's signature if he does not veto it, though Congress would require a two-thirds majority to override any veto.
- Julian Zelizer, a history and public affairs professor at Princeton University, told The Washington Post that "This is the exact kind of bill they want to point to and say Republicans are working on issues that their voters care about," but "That's not the signal that the administration is sending.
