House Speaker Mike Johnson to Meet with President Trump Regarding Housing Bill

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump on Thursday to discuss a bipartisan housing reform bill and related election integrity legislation. The meeting follows Trump's decision to cancel the signing of the housing bill, which had previously passed the House with bipartisan support. Trump stated that he would only sign the housing bill if Congress also passes the SAVE America Act, which aims to enhance voter ID requirements and proof of citizenship for elections. Despite Trump's cancellation, the housing bill will automatically become law after 10 days if presented to him by congressional leaders. Johnson indicated that he believes Trump will ultimately sign the bill within that timeframe. Additionally, Trump and Johnson discussed the possibility of advancing parts of the SAVE America Act through budget reconciliation legislation, which could facilitate its passage in the Senate.
