Trump refuses to sign bipartisan housing bill, calls it 'a big yawn'

other · 2026-07-10

On Friday, President Donald Trump declared that he won't support a bipartisan housing affordability bill, which he had previously called 'a big yawn' on June 29. Despite his lack of endorsement, this bill, which has passed through both houses of Congress, could still become law if he chooses not to veto it. Trump shared on social media that he is holding back his approval 'in PROTEST over the Senate's inability to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.' This housing legislation highlights a rare agreement in a split Congress, aiming to speed up environmental reviews for homebuilding and restrict how many single-family homes large Wall Street firms can buy. The White House hasn’t suggested a veto, so the bill is set to become law on Saturday.
