President Trump is casting more doubt on whether he'll sign a bipartisan affordable housing bill
0:07
while the House has a trick up its sleeve to pass the voter ID law, the Save America Act
0:12
Trump put the housing bill in limbo last week when he canceled the signing just hours before
0:17
it was set to happen. He said at the time he wouldn't approve it until Congress passes the
0:22
unrelated Save Act, which imposes new restrictions on voter registration and mail-in voting
0:27
When asked this week whether he will sign the housing bill, the president said this
0:57
They can get approved. They worked on it long and hard. It's very bipartisan. That means the Democrats like it
1:06
I think it's maybe even, it's probably maybe more that way they're getting things that I wouldn't necessarily agree to
1:16
The housing bill aims to lower the cost of buying a home by building more housing and restricting larger corporations from buying single-family homes to turn them into rental properties
1:25
It passed Congress last Tuesday. Well, despite the president calling it a big yawn
1:31
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson later told USA Today he knows the president won't veto it
1:37
He says he'll either sign it or let the 10 days pass until it automatically becomes law
1:42
As for the Save America Act, Johnson has plans to wrap that tough-to-pass legislation with a must-pass defense bill
1:50
the National Defense Authorization Act. That maneuver now goes to the House floor for consideration
