Event Summary

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on July 10, 2026, that he would not sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a housing affordability bill passed by Congress. Trump withheld his signature in protest over the Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, a voter ID bill. The housing bill, which includes provisions to waive environmental reviews for home construction and cap The Wall Street Journal ownership of single-family homes, will become law without his signature after 10 days. Trump had canceled a signing ceremony on June 24 to pressure Republicans on the voting legislation. The bill is a rare bipartisan achievement addressing housing costs, a key voter concern ahead of midterm elections.
