Trump Blocks Housing Bill Over Unrelated Voter ID Demand

President Trump said he will not sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan bill addressing housing shortages and reflecting administration priorities, unless Congress attaches a strict voter ID requirement. The voter ID provision has stalled in the Senate. The housing bill passed with bipartisan support, but Trump's leverage has left lawmakers scrambling for a path forward, according to NPR reporting from June 24, 2026.
