Topline
President Donald Trump said he won’t sign a bipartisan housing bill passed by Congress last month in protest of the Senate’s inability to pass new voter ID requirements—but unless he vetos the bill, it will automatically become law at midnight, even without his signature.

Key Facts
Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday he will not sign the housing bill “IN PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.”
It’s unclear if Trump will veto the legislation, however, which is the only way to block it from taking effect at midnight.
Trump previously cancelled a June 24 signing ceremony for the housing bill in an effort to compel the Senate to pass the SAVE Act.
