美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示，他不会签署一项两党住房法案，以此抗议共和党议员未能推进另一项选举改革法案，这对其党内处境脆弱的议员们造成了重大政治打击。
即便没有特朗普的签署，该住房法案也将于午夜正式生效。但共和党领袖原本希望将这一时刻作为一项历史性的经济成就进行宣传，以期在中期选举前提振选情——而此次中期选举很可能将围绕美国人对生活成本的担忧展开。
然而，这项范围广泛的立法如今将在几乎没有宣传造势的情况下生效。特朗普此前曾称该法案“无聊透顶”“毫无意义”，并称其远不如包含选民身份验证和公民身份证明条款的选举改革法案重要。
“我不会签署这项已在国会完全通过并送交白宫的住房法案，以此抗议美国参议院无法通过《拯救美国法案》，”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。
总统再次呼吁参议院共和党议员终结阻挠议事程序，以推进选举改革法案及其他共和党优先议程，并警告称，如果民主党重新掌控参议院，他们也会采取同样做法。
这一决定给共和党议员们带来了长达数周的痛苦冲击：他们花了数月时间与民主党谈判，最终达成了一代人以来规模最大的住房负担能力法案，却在最后关头被善变的党首否决，而否决的原因与这项住房法案毫无关联。
这也凸显出共和党在中期选举前四个月面临的日益严峻的挑战：此次选举的关键在于民众对生活成本危机的担忧，而特朗普一直对此轻描淡写，转而专注于他个人的优先事项。
“我不确定将这项法案作为要挟，能如何推动另一项法案的通过，”特朗普的外部经济顾问斯蒂芬·摩尔在总统做出决定前表示，“我不知道这背后的策略是什么。”
民主党方面周五立刻抓住特朗普不签署住房法案这一点，证明他并未将民众的住房负担担忧放在首位。
“唐纳德·特朗普对降低你的住房成本毫不在意，以至于他拒绝签署这项30年来规模最大的住房法案，”参与该法案谈判的核心人物、马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在X平台上写道。
共和党议员原本计划在6月为特朗普举行一场高调的国会山签署仪式。这项两党协议以压倒性优势获得通过，本可以为共和党议员赢得一场来之不易的经济胜利，被视为说服选民相信共和党有能力解决他们生活成本困境的关键举措。
但特朗普因参议院共和党议员不愿优先推进联邦选举改革法案而怒火中烧，在仪式开始前几小时突然取消了出席。参议院共和党领袖曾警告特朗普，选举改革法案远未获得共和党团的全体支持，更不用说在参议院通过所需的60票了。
签署仪式取消后，各方急忙劝说特朗普支持这项法案，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊多次前往白宫，向他阐述法案的价值。
约翰逊最终在会谈后确信特朗普不会直接否决该法案，随即送交法案，启动了10天的生效倒计时——即便没有总统签署，法案也将正式生效。
尽管如此，特朗普对这项共和党议员和部分白宫官员视为该党负担能力议程核心的法案，始终鲜有热情。
约翰逊送交法案后，特朗普曾表示仍未决定是否签署，并称其重要性远不及他推动选民身份验证法案的努力。
“这没什么大不了的，”他当时对记者说，“无聊透顶。”
特朗普还反复质疑该法案的价值，称降低利率比法案中的任何条款都更能解决住房可及性问题，同时质疑法案是否为争取民主党支持做出了过多让步。
在周五的Truth Social帖子中，特朗普再次未就住房法案本身做出更多解释，仅重申了不签署的誓言，转而又对共和党议员发表了一番愤怒的言论——这些议员在中期选举中的成败将决定共和党能否保住国会多数席位。
特朗普写道，如果共和党不在选举改革法案上采取行动，“‘愚蠢’的头衔将重新归于共和党人，他们任由这场可怕的灾难降临到我们的政党乃至整个国家头上！”

Trump says he won’t sign housing bill that’s set to become law at midnight
2026-07-10T13:42:03.051Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/10/politics/trump-housing-bill
President Donald Trump said Friday that he will not sign a bipartisan housing bill in protest of Republicans’ inability to advance separate elections overhaul legislation, dealing a major political blow to vulnerable lawmakers in his own party.
The housing bill is set to become law at midnight even without Trump’s signature. But GOP leaders had originally hoped to tout the moment as a historic economic achievement ahead of midterm elections that are likely to be defined by Americans’ concerns over the cost of living.
Instead, the sweeping legislation will now advance with minimal fanfare from a president who has dismissed it as “a yawn” and “so unimportant” compared to the elections legislation, which includes voter ID and proof-of-citizenship measures.
“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president again called on Senate Republicans to end the filibuster to advance the elections legislation and other Republican priorities, warning that Democrats would do the same if they regain control of the chamber.
The decision punctuates a painful, weekslong episode for Republican lawmakers who devoted months to negotiating with Democrats over what would become the largest housing affordability bill in a generation — only to see their mercurial leader disavow it at the last minute over wholly separate frustrations.
It also underscores the deepening challenge facing the GOP just four months out from midterm elections expected to hinge on an affordability crisis that Trump has repeatedly downplayed in favor of focusing on his personal priorities.
“I’m not sure how holding this bill hostage is going to move this other bill,” Stephen Moore, an outside economic adviser to Trump, said in the run-up to the president’s decision. “I don’t know what the strategy is there.”
Democrats on Friday immediately seized on Trump’s decision not to sign the housing bill as evidence of his failure to prioritize affordability concerns.
“Donald Trump cares so little about bringing down YOUR housing costs that he’s refusing to sign the biggest housing bill in 30 years,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who played a central role in negotiating the legislation, wrote on X.
Republicans in June had initially planned to hold a high-profile signing ceremony for Trump on Capitol Hill. The bipartisan deal had passed overwhelmingly, handing GOP lawmakers a hard-fought economic victory viewed as critical to convincing voters that the party had a plan to address their cost-of-living woes.
But Trump, fuming over Senate Republicans’ resistance to prioritizing the effort to overhaul federal elections, abruptly canceled his appearance hours before the event. Senate GOP leaders have warned Trump that the elections legislation does not have anywhere close to the full support of the Republican conference, much less the 60 votes needed to pass it through the chamber.
The cancelled signing ceremony prompted a rush to convince Trump to back the bill, with House Speaker Mike Johnson trekking to the White House multiple times to sell him on its merits.
Johnson ultimately transmitted the bill after emerging from those meetings confident that Trump would not veto it outright, kickstarting a 10-day countdown for it to become law even without the president’s signature.
Still, Trump has since displayed little enthusiasm for legislation that Republican lawmakers and some White House officials saw as the centerpiece of the party’s affordability agenda.
After Johnson transmitted the bill, Trump said he remained undecided about signing it and dismissed its importance compared with his efforts to secure the voter ID legislation.
“Big deal,” he told reporters at the time. “It’s a yawn.”
Trump also repeatedly cast doubt on the bill’s merits, arguing that lower interest rates would do more to make housing available than any of the measures in the legislation, while questioning whether it made too many concessions to Democrats to win their support.
In his Truth Social post on Friday, Trump again declined to address the housing bill outside of his vow not to sign it — opting instead to direct another irate missive at the Republican lawmakers whose success in the midterm elections will determine whether he holds onto his congressional majority.
If the GOP fails to act on his elections legislation, Trump wrote, “The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself!”
