Trump canceled a scheduled signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill that had already passed both chambers of Congress, saying he will not sign it unless lawmakers first pass the SAVE America Act—a voter ID measure that has stalled in the Senate due to Democratic opposition. The move blindsided Republican leaders who had been promoting the housing bill as a legislative win heading into the 2026 midterms. Republicans are fractured over the decision, with some accusing Trump of handing Democrats a political victory by scuttling popular legislation. The housing bill itself is one of the largest affordable housing measures in years and passed with rare bipartisan agreement.
