President Donald Trump said on Monday afternoon that he won\u2019t commit to signing the bipartisan housing bill that Congress passed after months of backroom negotiating and tension between the chambers \u2014 telling reporters that he\u2019s bored by the bill to address rising housing costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a yawn,\u201d Trump told reporters on Monday. \u201cCompared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump canceled the long-anticipated signing ceremony<\/u><\/span> for the 21st Century Road to Housing Act last week to use the bill as leverage to whip votes for the voting bill, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID at the polls.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has argued that he doesn\u2019t have the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act, nor the votes to abolish the filibuster \u2014 another frequent demand by Trump.<\/p>\n

The president said on Wednesday that the housing bill \u201chasn\u2019t been sent\u201d to him yet, though Speaker Mike Johnson said he had sent the bill<\/u><\/span> to the White House earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

House Financial Services Committee Chair Rep. French Hill (R-Arkansas), a sponsor of the House version of the bill, seemed unsure whether Trump would sign the measure when asked Monday, telling reporters simply that he \u201clook[s] forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Trump openly criticized the bill, which would in part limit large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, for giving Democrats \u201cthings that I wouldn\u2019t necessarily agree to.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also chastised the handful of Republican holdouts on the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only people that would vote against that are people that are going to cheat in an election,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
