Democratic Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (Va.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for canceling the signing of a bipartisan housing bill.
"I don't know with this president, because he's said that he doesn't care about rising costs," Subramanyam told host Chris Stirewalt on NewsNation's "The Hill Sunday," regarding whether he expects Trump to sign the bill this upcoming week.
"He said … if he doesn't have a housing problem and his friends don't have [a] problem with housing, then it doesn't matter to him," the Virginia Democrat added. "So, I actually wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't sign it."
Trump canceled the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Wednesday, despite the legislation gaining passage through both chambers of Congress via overwhelming, veto-proof majorities.
The president said he will not sign the housing bill until the Senate passes the House-approved Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act — which proposes requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
