Trump scraps housing bill signing to press GOP on SAVE Act

Season 2026 Episode 130 | 5m 01s

President Trump upended plans for a major housing bill, refusing to sign legislation that passed Congress with veto-proof majorities. He's trying to press lawmakers to adopt the voting bill known as the SAVE Act. The tactic is familiar. Earlier this year, the president derailed a bipartisan deal on intelligence and surveillance legislation. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Andrew Desiderio.
