House weighs modifications to Senate-passed bipartisan housing bill amid Trump pressure to pass legislation unchanged
President Trump called on the House to pass the Senate's 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act without changes, emphasizing its provision banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated Tuesday that Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill and ranking member Maxine Waters are seeking bipartisan modifications to the bill, which passed the Senate 89-10 in March. The divergence centers on whether the House will accept the Senate version or push through amendments despite Trump's explicit request for unchanged passage.
