Republicans scramble to unsnarl the knot Trump created with housing bill fiasco: report
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was rushing to the White House to "unsnarl the knot" on Thursday, just a day after President Donald Trump canceled signing a bipartisan housing bill and signaled it was "leverage" to pressure Republicans to pass his elections legislation, according to The Washington Post.Trump told Republican senators they should focus on passing his SAVE America Act, which he has referred to as a priority. He has described the voting measure as "necessary to confront a national emergency," The Post reported."For many GOP lawmakers, the episode was the latest example of an increasingly familiar frustration: Trump uses his bully pulpit to upend the plans of congressional Republicans who are trying to advance his agenda while also protecting their own political interests. And he frequently does so under the guise of something he deems an emergency," according to The Post.Trump on Wednesday spoke from the Oval Office and repeated "unfounded claims about rigged elections that he said were corrosive to American democracy. He refused to budge on the housing bill until there was movement on the Save America Act," the outlet reported.“There’s no compromise,” Trump said. “It’s voter ID. It’s proof of citizenship, and it’s also the mail-in ballots. … We have a lot of rigged elections.”
