Congress passes landmark bipartisan housing bill — then Trump cancels the signing to pressure GOP on SAVE Act

The Baffler—Congress passed the largest US housing affordability legislation in decades with rare bipartisan support, only for Trump to abruptly cancel the signing ceremony and demand the Senate first pass the SAVE Act on voter ID. The Road to Housing Act was designed to boost construction and rein in investor landlords. Trump's move put him on a collision course with Senate Republicans, who had championed the bill as a legislative win. Some observers called it a legislative achievement held hostage; others framed it as Trump's latest pressure tactic against his own party.
