Trump undercuts GOP midterms message with snub of housing bill

A housing bill aimed at addressing affordability issues became law without Donald Trump’s signature after he criticized it as 'a yawn,' undermining Republican efforts to frame it as a bipartisan midterm election win. The 21st Century Road to Housing Act includes measures to limit institutional investors, streamline factory-built housing, and reduce construction barriers, but Trump withdrew support, linking his refusal to sign to stalled progress on his preferred voter-ID legislation.
