唐纳德·特朗普总统正敦促国会在11月中期选举前推动一项负担能力方面的立法胜利，但共和党内部就一项全面住房提案的根深蒂固分歧可能会使该计划脱轨。
特朗普周一呼吁众议院迅速通过参议院通过的旨在缓解住房负担能力问题的法案，该法案已在众议院搁置数月。然而，众议院共和党人拒绝了这一要求，并提出了一项对立方案。
众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊本周早些时候透露，共和党人和民主党人将联手向总统提交一份“两党、两院共同通过的法案”。
“我认为所有人都认为这很重要，所以我们只是在解决一些细微差别，”约翰逊说道。
特朗普支持的住房改革法案获参议院通过，众议院共和党人敲响警钟
众议院资深议员周四公布了参议院《21世纪住房之路法案》的修订版，预计最早将于下周在众议院进行投票。
对参议院提案做出任何修改都将迫使参议院重新审议该法案，延长议员们将法案提交特朗普办公桌的时间。
参议院法案的主要起草者之一、马萨诸塞州民主党议员伊丽莎白·沃伦拒绝透露她是否与众议院同僚就法案调整进行沟通，并表示议员们已没有太多时间采取行动。
“当前存在住房危机，”沃伦说道。“如果众议院能将该法案提交全院投票，今天就能通过。我们需要立即行动，如果众议院有更多想法想要加入，可以另行提出一项法案。”
部分共和党议员并不急于推进此事。
“我们不能直接将参议院法案提交全院表决，”众议院自由党团主席、马里兰州共和党议员安迪·哈里斯本周早些时候在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
不过，参议院的政治动态则大不相同。该住房法案于3月以仅十几名议员倒戈的票数通过，在如此高度党派化的国会中实属罕见。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党议员约翰·图恩认为，将法案提交特朗普办公桌的最简单途径就是直接通过参议院版本。
“该法案已经在众议院搁置了一段时间，总统也已表明立场。我认为，白宫明确表示过，希望众议院接手并通过参议院的法案，”图恩说道。“我们已经尽了全力，现在主动权在众议院手中。”
众议院版本的法案删除了一项针对建后租赁市场的有争议条款，该条款遭到保守派反对，他们认为这一措辞过度干预了住房市场。
参议院提案中的该条款曾明确要求部分开发商在房屋建成后七年内将用于租赁的独栋住宅出售。建后租赁行业与该条款的反对者认为，这类房产为部分被房价挤出市场的美国人提供了更实惠的选择，同时该条款可能会危及全国的租赁房源供应。
“我们必须确保以正确的方式推进，继续维护自由市场，”德克萨斯州共和党议员迈克尔·克劳德说道，并补充称参议院法案中的条款可能会让部分人“无法”获得住房。

不过，该提案还将放宽对大型机构投资者购买独栋住宅的禁令——这是特朗普政府的一项优先事项。
众议院的对立住房法案明确保留了参议院法案中包含的、到2030年禁止中央银行数字货币（CBDC）的条款。
众议院保守派人士对参议院法案未就数字货币禁令做出永久性规定感到愤怒，这是共和党隐私鹰派人士的首要诉求，他们此前曾试图将该条款纳入各种立法提案。
“禁令必须是永久性的，”克劳德说道。“我们必须彻底终结中央银行数字货币。”
众议院金融服务委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党议员弗兰奇·希尔是众议院对立住房方案的联合发起人之一，他在周四的一份声明中表示，他与特朗普有着相同的目标，即扩大人们获得负担得起的住房所有权的机会。
“它消除了新房建设的不必要障碍，更新了住房和城市发展部的项目，并允许银行更自由地向社区投放资金，”希尔在谈及众议院版本的提案时说道。“我们必须妥善推进此事——我承诺将为此全力以赴。”
并非所有参议院议员都对众议院修改法案的决定感到不满。
佛罗里达州共和党议员里克·斯科特是少数投票反对《21世纪住房之路法案》的议员之一，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，住房负担能力并非由联邦政府决定的。
“如果真想降低住房成本，地方政府必须允许建造更多房屋，”斯科特说道。
此次立法僵局之际，福克斯新闻最近的一项民调显示，近80%的选民表示住房成本对他们或其家庭来说是一个问题。同一项调查还发现，民主党在通胀和经济议题上领先共和党。

GOP can’t agree on key part of Trump’s housing affordability push as infighting continues

Entrenched disagreement over build-to-rent provisions and digital currency bans is holding up the legislation

President Donald Trump is leaning on Congress to tee up an affordability win ahead of November’s midterm elections, but entrenched GOP disagreement on a sweeping housing proposal threatens to derail it.
Trump on Monday called on the House to swiftly approve Senate-passed legislation aimed at easing housing affordability that has languished in the lower chamber for several months. House Republicans, however, have balked at that request and are pitching a rival plan.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., teased earlier in the week that Republicans and Democrats would come together to bring a “bipartisan, bicameral bill to the president’s desk.”
“I think everybody feels like it’s important, so we’re just working out some nuances,” Johnson said.

TRUMP-BACKED AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVERHAUL CLEARS SENATE, WHILE HOUSE GOP RAISES RED FLAGS
Senior House lawmakers on Thursday unveiled a modified version of the Senate’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which is expected to receive a vote in the lower chamber as early as next week.
Any changes to the Senate’s proposal would force the upper chamber to consider the measure again, prolonging the timeline lawmakers can send legislation to Trump’s desk.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., one of the chief architects of the Senate’s bill, declined to say whether she was speaking with her counterparts in the House about tweaks to the bill, and argued that lawmakers were running out of time to do something.
“There’s a housing crisis out there,” Warren said. “This bill can pass today if the House would just put it on the floor and vote on it. We need to get started, and if the House has more ideas than they’d like to add, start another bill.”
Some GOP lawmakers are not sweating the wait.
“We cannot take the Senate bill to the floor,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital in an interview earlier this week.
The political dynamics are much different in the Senate, however. And the housing bill passed with fewer than a dozen defectors in March — a rare feat in such a hyper-partisan Congress.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., argued that the easiest route to putting the legislation on Trump’s desk is passing the Senate’s version.
“It’s been sitting over there for a while and the president’s weighed in on it. I think, you know, the White House made it clear, they would like to see the House pick up and pass the Senate bill,” Thune said. “We’ve done what we can do. It’s in the court of the House now.”
The House product struck out a controversial provision taking aim at the build-to-rent market that drew the opposition of conservatives, who argued the language amounted to excessive government interference in the housing market.
The clause in the Senate’s proposal would have specifically required some developers to sell single-family homes built for the purpose of renting within seven years after construction. The build-to-rent industry and opponents of the provision argued their properties provide a more affordable option for some Americans priced out of the housing market and could imperil the supply of rentals across the country.
“We’ve got to make sure we do it in a right way that continues to keep free markets,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, said, adding that the clause in the Senate bill could make it “impossible” for some people to access housing.

The proposal, however, would also weaken a ban on large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes — a priority of the Trump administration.
The House’s rival housing bill notably preserves a ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDC) through 2030 that was included in the Senate’s legislation.
House conservatives raged at the Senate bill for stopping short of enacting a permanent CBDC ban — a top priority of GOP privacy hawks, who have sought to add the language to various legislative vehicles.
“It has to be permanent,” Cloud said. “We’ve got to put the nail in the coffin on it.”
House Financial Services Chairman French Hill, R-Ark., a co-author of the House’s rival housing package, said he shared Trump’s goal of expanding access to affordable homeownership in a statement Thursday.
“It cuts unnecessary barriers to new home construction, modernizes HUD programs, and allows banks to more freely deploy funding into their communities,” Hill said regarding the lower chamber’s proposal. “We must get this right — and I am committed to working hard to do that.”
Not everyone in the Senate is upset by the House’s decision to modify the bill.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., was one of the few lawmakers to vote against the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, and told Fox News Digital that housing affordability isn’t something that’s dictated by the federal government.

“If you wanted to actually reduce housing costs, it’s local governments who are gonna have to allow more houses to be built,” Scott said.
The legislative standoff comes as a recent Fox News poll found that nearly 80% of voters said housing costs were a problem for them or their family. The same survey also found that Democrats hold a lead over Republicans on inflation and the economy.
