Trump throws curveball at GOP by abruptly canceling housing bill signing

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump's signing ceremony for "one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history" at the Capitol on Wednesday would be "historic," marking "another promise made, another promise kept." But at the last minute, Trump canceled. In a social media post, Trump said the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act was "of minor importance" compared to the SAVE America Act, voter ID legislation that even some Republicans view as a federal overreach of state elections. "Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
