President Donald Trump on Friday erupted at members of his own party on social media as he declared his refusal to sign the bipartisan housing bill that’s been sitting on his desk for over a week and had been intended as a centerpiece of Republican efforts to address cost-of-living issues. His war with his own party is over the Senate’s failure to pass his restrictive voter ID legislation.
Because the legislation has been awaiting his signature for nine working days, it will become law at midnight on Friday despite his objections unless he formally vetoes it, but Trump nonetheless complained that Congress had not taken action to make it more complicated for Americans to vote ahead of this year’s midterms, which could put control of one or both houses of Congress in the hands of Democrats.
