Trump-backed housing bill clears House after GOP defies Senate pressure campaign

The House passed a sweeping housing bill backed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, handing Republicans a potential affordability win ahead of November’s midterms. 

Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly 396-13 to send the bipartisan measure aimed at boosting housing supply and homeownership to the Senate, where it will need final sign-off before being signed into law by the president.

"The White House supports the House’s housing bill thanks to the changes that were made," a White House official told Fox News Digital.
