Trump delays housing bill signing, demands voting restrictions passage

President Donald Trump has canceled the planned signing of a bipartisan affordable housing bill, demanding that Congress first pass the "SAVE AMERICA ACT," a package of voting restrictions. This move has caused frustration among Republicans and Democrats alike, with some lawmakers suggesting it is a symbolic gesture as the housing bill can still become law without his signature. Trump made a rare visit to the US Capitol to urge his party to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT, which includes measures like photo ID requirements for federal elections and proof of citizenship for registration.
