President Trump called it "a big yawn" and refused to sign it on June 24, shortly after it passed.

On Truth Social that month, Trump dismissed the bill — officially called the 21st Century Road to Housing Act — as "of minor importance" and canceled a White House signing ceremony, stipulating that he would only sign if Congress passed a strict voter ID bill called the SAVE America Act. That bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot. It has stalled in the Senate, where it doesn't have the 60 votes to pass.

"To me, compared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn," Trump told reporters in June.
