House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that he will be sending a major bipartisan housing bill to President Donald Trump on Monday. This move comes shortly after Trump unexpectedly axed a signing ceremony for the bill last week, demanding Congress first pass his controversial elections security act.
The bill, known as the 21st Century ROAD To Housing Act, has been touted by Johnson as a key Republican initiative aimed at reducing housing costs for Americans. "I'm going to send the bill over to him on Monday, and it will become law," Johnson confidently told host Maria Bartiromo. He encouraged the president to "take the biggest, boldest marker that he has and do that big Trump signature proudly on that legislation because we're delivering for the people, and that's what he wants to do."
The legislation aims to enhance housing affordability by increasing supply and homeownership. It has received broad support in both chambers of Congress, illustrating a rare moment of bipartisan agreement.
The White House has remained silent on Johnson's remarks and has not yet responded to inquiries about the upcoming bill signing.
Last week, President Trump had initially planned to sign the housing bill but postponed the event, linking it to the passage of the SAVE America Act, a proposal focusing on stringent voter ID requirements and ending mail-in voting, which lacks sufficient support to pass. Trump's unexpected decision surprised many congressional leaders.
However, Johnson revealed that he and Trump have extensively discussed the housing bill since the canceled ceremony. "We made a lot of promises to the voters, and we're fulfilling those every single day of this Congress," Johnson asserted. He emphasized that the bill would "increase the availability, the access to more housing, bring down cost, cut regulations," aligning with the administration's goals.
If Trump does not act on the bill within the next few days, it will automatically become law unless he decides to veto it. In such an event, Congress holds the authority to override the veto, ensuring the bill's enactment.
