5:43Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump cancelled the signing of a landmark housing bill Tuesday, saying in a social media post that Congress needs to pass the SAVE America Act first.
The president said the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act “is of minor importance” compared to the provisions in the elections bill, which adds new proof-of-citizenship and voter ID requirements. Trump has insisted that Republican leadership pass the SAVE America Act, even though GOP leaders have told the president they don’t have enough votes to get it through.
Shortly after Trump’s posts, House Speaker Mike Johnson said lawmakers will go through the details of the housing bill with the president, helping him understand it’s a “good product.” The legislation aims to lower prices and boost the supply of housing.
“We’re going to bring the American dream back within the grasp of hard-working American families,” he told reporters, adding that the housing bill is “certainly something that fulfills his promises to bring down the costs.”
Johnson said he expects Trump to still sign the legislation within the 10-day window after a bill has passed both chambers of Congress.
