Trump Calls Housing Bill a ‘Big Yawn’ While Pushing Election-Law Measure
President Trump dismissed a bipartisan housing affordability bill as “a big yawn” while continuing to push Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a voting measure that would change federal voter registration and mail-ballot rules.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support, including reported votes of 85-5 in the Senate and 358-32 in the House. The bill includes provisions aimed at easing housing development, streamlining reviews, expanding access to manufactured housing, and limiting some large investor purchases of single-family homes.
