The story
President Trump cancelled Wednesday's planned signing of a landmark bipartisan housing bill until Congress passes the unrelated SAVE America Act.
Why it matters: Trump has been angling for Congress to pass the voting bill for months, and previously threatened to withhold his signature on any other legislation until lawmakers passed it.
What they're saying: "Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency," Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday morning.
Zoom out: The president's decision came as House GOP leaders were touting the housing bill's attributes during their weekly press conference.
- Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) praised the bipartisan effort to pass the bill — alongside Trump's support — mere minutes before the president's post.
- "Let's show the American people what legislating looks like," French said. "Let's show the American people how you work together and do something on a bicameral basis, and we did that, and we did that in conjunction with President Trump and his priorities."
