He has chosen to let the measure become law without his express approval, undercutting his administration\u2019s claims that he considers it a priority to combat inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Trump\u2019s rejection of the bipartisan housing legislation exacerbates tensions with his own party in a midterm election year and cuts short their efforts to address a key voter concern about rising costs. His post comes more than a week after he canceled plans to sign the bipartisan legislation, announcing he was using it as leverage in his push for a strict voter ID bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It\u2019s the broadest federal effort in decades to address America\u2019s housing affordability problems, as state and local regulations have made it difficult to build in many of the communities that are also sources of job growth and economic opportunity. White House economists estimated earlier this year a national shortage of 10 million homes and the bill could help to close a portion of that gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Trump called the bill \u201ca yawn\u201d and \u201cso unimportant\u201d compared to legislation that would require proof of citizenship for all voters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He surprised Republican lawmakers on June 24, when, shortly before a planned signing ceremony at the Capitol, he announced he would not approve the bill until lawmakers first passed the voting legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That bill, the SAVE America Act, doesn\u2019t have enough Republican support to pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said after submitting the housing bill to the White House that he told Trump he should get the \u201cfattest black marker you have, and sign your name really big on that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI hope he does sign it,\u201d Johnson told reporters at the time. \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t, it\u2019s still law.
