Trump abruptly cancels signing a housing bill, blindsiding Republicans

President Donald Trump abruptly canceled plans to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, blindsiding Senate Republicans. The legislation, which passed both the House and Senate, aimed to increase home construction and limit corporate investors' ability to purchase single-family residences. GOP members had promoted the bill to show concern for working people before the November midterms. The cancellation occurred shortly before the scheduled public signing ceremony at the Capitol, ratcheting up tensions within the party.
