President Donald Trump urged reticent House Republicans on Monday night to pass a Senate housing package that includes a crackdown on Wall Street’s ability to purchase single-family homes.
“Senators Bernie Moreno and Tim Scott have worked to ensure my call becomes a reality, and have a Bill which has passed the Senate with nearly 90 votes,” President Trump posted on Truth Social. “I am asking Congress to pass that Bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would ensure that homes are for people, not Corporations.”
The president had previously endorsed the Senate’s version of the legislation, which passed the upper chamber on March 12 but has faced an uphill battle in the House.
