Johnson to send housing bill to Trump on Monday

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday said he will send the bipartisan housing bill passed overwhelmingly by both chambers of Congress to President Trump on Monday.

Trump last week said he would not sign the bill, despite the support from both parties, unless the Senate first takes action on elections legislation that is opposed by Democrats.

Johnson has been trying to figure out a way to move the elections legislation through Congress, and expressed confidence the housing measure will become law.

“I’m going to send the bill over to him on Monday, and it will become law,”Johnson said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I certainly want him to take the biggest, boldest marker that he has and do that big Trump signature proudly on that legislation because we’re delivering for the people, and that’s what he wants to do,” he added. 

The bill is set to restrict large investors from buying up single family homes and establishes pilot programs to expand access to small-dollar mortgages (under $100,000)........
