President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill on June 24, 2026. He stated that the event would be postponed until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which he described as a national emergency. Trump posted on social media that the housing news conference and signing were canceled.
The bill had been set for a ceremony at the Capitol. He has pressed the Senate to eliminate the filibuster to advance the measure, which would add voter identification requirements and proof-of-citizenship rules. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said on June 24 that passing the SAVE America Act is not realistic.
Thune noted the lack of sufficient votes to end the filibuster in the 53-47 Senate and uniform Democratic opposition. Trump is scheduled to attend a closed-door Senate GOP luncheon on June 25 for the first time in more than a year. He has endorsed primary challengers against Texas Sen.
