On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to stall the signing of a bipartisan housing bill, saying his decision “just doesn’t make any sense.”

The 21st Century Road to Housing Act, cosponsored by Warren, passed with bipartisan support on Tuesday with support from 358 members of the House. Only 32 lawmakers voted against the bill. Although it doesn’t address all of the issues affecting housing affordability, it would, among other things:

Ban corporate investors from buying up houses and renting them out instead of selling them for people to own;

Encourage local governments to promote homebuilding in their communities, allocating federal dollars to places that build more houses;

And streamline regulations to make homebuilding faster.

The White House had previously announced that Trump would sign the bill into law. However, on Truth Social, the president said he was canceling the signing ceremony, refusing to enact the legislation until the SAVE AMERICA Act passed instead — a GOP-proposed legislation that purports to address voter fraud, but in reality makes citizenship requirements to register to vote so restrictive that it has the potential to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.

“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump said in his post.

Voting rights experts say that nothing in the bill would make elections more secure than they already are, and that the kind of voter fraud the president claims to be combating is very rare — certainly not widespread enough to affect electoral outcomes.
