Trump refuses to sign bipartisan housing bill until Congress passes election reform legislation.
President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed Congress with large bipartisan majorities (Senate 85-5, House 358-32). Trump stated he would not sign the housing bill until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, his election overhaul legislation requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. The bill can become law without his signature after 10 days if Congress remains in session.

The split, in one line
Right-leaning outlets frame Trump's move as leverage for election security and note the bill can become law anyway. Left-leaning outlets emphasize holding housing hostage and highlight the bill's broad bipartisan support. International coverage calls the voting bill an effort to suppress votes.
