Trump snubs housing bill, forcing it into law without signature

Donald Trump has refused to sign a significant bipartisan housing bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which will now become law without his signature. Trump's decision is a protest against the Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill he champions that would tighten voting restrictions. The housing legislation, aimed at increasing supply and curbing institutional investor ownership of single-family homes, passed Congress with overwhelming support but faced a last-minute political maneuver from the former president.
