Trump-Backed Housing Bill Passes House Amid GOP Defiance Amid Midterm Election Pushback

The House passed a sweeping housing bill backed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, handing Republicans a potential affordability win ahead of November's midterm elections, despite pressure from the Senate to block it. Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill, which is seen as a major victory for Democrats and a potential boost for their campaign message. The bill is expected to include measures to address housing costs and increase funding for programs that help low-income families.
