Trumps holds landmark affordable housing bill hostage over his pet issue: the ‘national emergency’ of voter ID
President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing of a bipartisan affordable housing bill, demanding Congress first pass the SAVE AMERICA Act, which introduces new voter identification requirements. Democratic lawmakers oppose the voting bill, calling it a form of voter suppression, while Trump continues to pressure Senate leaders despite their frustrations over his agenda diversions.
