Trump cancels housing bill signing, calls voter‑ID bill a 'national emergency'

newsJun 24, 2026602,714

President Donald Trump abruptly canceled a planned signing ceremony for the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Wednesday, saying he would not sign it until Congress passes his SAVE Act voter-ID measure and calling the matter a "national emergency". The House gave final passage to the housing affordability bill on Tuesday after bipartisan support; the legislation was intended to reduce barriers to building and expand housing availability. By conditioning the bipartisan housing package on passage of the SAVE Act, Trump is blocking immediate housing relief and pressing lawmakers to choose between delivering near-term cost-of-living measures and advancing stricter voter-ID rules ahead of upcoming elections.

Trump set up the cameras, the podium, the flags — then canceled his own bipartisan housing bill signing because he'd rather hold the country hostage over a voter suppression bill. And that's just the beginning. Your midday update is here: www.meidasplus.com/p/wednesday-...

No, he wants to stay out of prison and rigging the vote is the only way he can. Period. End of story. All of this shit is to keep him out of prison.

It is time for politicians to stand up to Trump and take action tp prevent further damage to the US. Empty talk and posturing b4 midterms are meaningless and voters/citzens know it. Biden had competent aides at least, Trump's crew are 3 stooges+keystone cops. Trump's decline is SAD and Loserville.

Trump doesn't care if Americans are living in their car or under a bridge

It’s not even a good threat though. He is literally throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler. It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. It passed with veto proof margins & if he doesn’t do anything for 10 days it goes into law automatically. Maybe he needs his afternoon nap and can try again later.

I think he is very afraid

A President who refuses to do his job for the American people, unless Congress agrees to back his racist plan to steal all future elections for Republicans, should definitely be impeached and removed from office for gross incompetence and complete failure to uphold his oath of office.

If he does nothing on this bill for 10 days doesn't it become law anyway? Why isn't this being talked about?

Trump is blackmailing the US.

Trump is an asshole. Congress needs to send a message to him that none of his agenda will even be discussed until the Epstein files are released, Gas prices are normal, the troops are home, and healthcare is back on the table.

OK Mr Ben I am going to need you to think back not too long ago to #Lecterngate... 🤨

Leadership is about solving problems, not creating political standoffs. Americans need results on housing, voting rights, and the issues that affect their daily lives, not more partisan gamesmanship.

Another temper tantrum. Sundowning and in need of a diaper change?

He'll do anything to be dictator for life. Threats, blackmail, bribes, withholding what Americans should have - anything. We ain't seen nothing YET. It will get worse because nobody has stopped him.

The bill has been approved and will go into effect even if he doesn’t sign it. 🍊🤡 #tantrums
