President Donald Trump stunned lawmakers in Washington on Wednesday after abruptly canceling a planned White House ceremony to sign a bipartisan housing measure that had already sailed through Congress with overwhelming support.
Instead of celebrating the legislation’s passage, Trump drew a hard line, announcing that he would not sign the bill until lawmakers first deliver what he considers a far more urgent priority: the SAVE America Act.
The unexpected move immediately intensified pressure on Republicans in the Senate and signaled that the president is prepared to use his leverage to force action on election-related reforms that he believes are essential to protecting the integrity of the nation’s voting system.
