Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) criticized Senate Republicans for their response to former President Donald Trump, stating they have failed to oppose him. This comment was made during an appearance on CNBC’s 'Squawk on the Street' on June 24, 2026, following Trump's cancellation of the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. Warren remarked that Republicans have shown an inability to stand up to Trump, referring to them as 'bowing down to the Great Trump.'
Trump postponed the signing of the housing bill, which aims to address the housing affordability crisis in the U.S., until the SAVE America Act, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, is passed. Warren emphasized the importance of the housing bill for American families and criticized Trump for not attending the signing ceremony, describing his behavior as childish. She noted the serious implications of rising housing costs for families and renters.
