The bill, which passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming support, includes provisions to streamline construction processes and limit corporate landlords. However, Trump has refused to sign it unless Congress passes the unrelated SAVE America Act, a voting-focused measure that adds new restrictions on voters in federal elections.
Warren co-sponsored the housing bill with Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and emphasized its importance in addressing the nationwide housing emergency. She argued that Trump's refusal to sign the bill shows he "does not care about the economic survival of America's working families." The senator also noted that Republicans had initially praised the legislation before Trump's announcement.
Critics of the housing bill claim it does not allocate fresh federal funding or directly address rising costs of homeownership. Meanwhile, Warren has warned that corporate mergers approved by the Trump administration could be undone by a future administration, citing concerns about media consolidation and political bias in news coverage.
