House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will send a bipartisan housing bill passed overwhelmingly by both chambers of Congress to President Trump on Monday. The bill has support from both political parties and cleared Congress with broad margins in both the House and the Senate. Johnson’s statement comes after Trump said last week that he would not sign the housing measure unless the Senate takes up elections legislation that he opposes. The Hill reports that Trump’s condition links housing legislation to action on elections bills. Investing.com similarly reports that Johnson plans to transmit the housing bill to Trump on Monday.

After the bill is sent, the next step is the president’s decision on whether to sign the housing legislation, with Trump having previously stated he would withhold approval absent Senate action on elections legislation.
