Mamdani-backed candidates win big in New York Democratic primaries – US politics live

And just like that, Donald Trump has said he’s cancelled the signing of the major bipartisan housing bill the Senate passed last night in a bid to further pressure Congress to pass his proof-of-citizenship voting bill – which GOP leaders have repeatedly said don’t have a chance of passing.

double quotation mark Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT , which I consider to be a National Emergency.

Considering this bill was a chance for the Republican party to show voters it was making a shift towards a more affordability-focused agenda ahead of November’s crucial midterm elections, Trump abruptly cancelling its signing probably isn’t the best look for the president right now.

It’s also sure to make the Senate GOP lunch he’s due to attend at 1pm ET all the more tense. Trump said of the lunch yesterday: “We’re just going to talk about SAVE America. We have to pass the SAVE America Act. So we’re going to have to talk about that and many other things.”
