Topline
President Donald Trump announced he will refuse to sign a bipartisan housing bill approved by Congress last month, citing the Senate’s inability to advance new voter identification requirements. Unless vetoed, the legislation will automatically become law at midnight without his signature.

Key Facts
Trump declared via a Truth Social post that he will not approve the housing legislation, stating it is in protest of the Senate’s failure to enact the SAVE America Act.
It remains uncertain whether Trump will exercise his veto authority to prevent the bill from taking effect at midnight.
He previously postponed a scheduled signing event for the housing measure on June 24, aiming to pressure Senate lawmakers into passing the SAVE Act.
