The underlying bill-already approved by the Senate-became contentious in the House after lawmakers released an amended version.<\/p>\n<p>One major point of dispute is how the bill handles a ban on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >institutional investors buying single-family homes<\/a>. The House changes keep the ban but alter the definition of \u201csingle-family home\u201d and remove a controversial build-to-rent provision from the Senate bill. The Senate advance initially included a requirement that investors sell build-to-rent homes within seven years, which housing experts and industry groups criticized for perhaps reducing housing supply.<\/p>\n<p>senate aides from both parties say the House\u2019s combined edits could still favor private equity and other investors over families. senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated he plans to wait and see how the bill returns from the House, saying he wishes lawmakers would rather move forward wiht the Senate version.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE \u2014 <\/strong>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> is expressing confidence that Congress will be able to pass landmark bipartisan <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/housing\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1273\">housing<\/a> legislation despite disagreement between the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-of-representatives\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"93\">House<\/a> and the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8765\">Senate<\/a> over certain provisions.<\/p>\n<p>Trump spoke with the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> on Tuesday morning during a brief phone call.

Last week, the House released an amended version of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, housing legislation that already passed the Senate overwhelmingly, but that lawmakers in the House and several outside stakeholders had big issues with.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> asked Trump if he supported the House\u2019s version, which has the blessing of House leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m gonna have to see what all the amendments are, but I support Mike Johnson,\u201d Trump responded. \u201cHe\u2019s great, doing a good job. So, let\u2019s see what the amendments are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump had previously urged the House to vote on the Senate\u2019s version of the housing legislation as is, although the House Financial Services Committee forged ahead and released a new version \u2014 one that has received pushback from the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>A key change in the legislation involves the ban on institutional investors purchasing single-family homes. Crucially, the ban would remain in place, but the new language narrows the definition of a single-family home and nixed a controversial provision on build-to-rent homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate bill initially contained language that would require investors in build-to-rent homes to sell those houses within seven years. Housing experts argued it would decrease the housing stock, and industry groups have come out hard against the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Republican and Democratic Senate aides are also pushing back on the language in the House version that narrows the definition of a single-family home, arguing that the combined changes would allow private equity firms to outcompete families in the market more so than the Senate\u2019s version.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said on Capitol Hill on Monday that he would wait to see what happens with the housing legislation this week in the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4567535\/gop-mounting-political-pressure-pass-bipartisan-housing-bill\/\"><strong>GOP FACES MOUNTING POLITICAL PRESSURE TO PASS BIPARTISAN HOUSING BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, we\u2019ll see what they do and what they may or may not add to it,\u201d Thune said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see, again what, how it comes back, if it comes back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, I wish they would just pick up the Senate bill,\u201d Thune added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump says Congress can pass bipartisan housing bill despite House-Senate disputes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3360,"featured_media":2604421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AP26138776179747.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[40357,34218,3634],"class_list":["post-2604420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-housing-bill","tag-mike-johnson","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AP26138776179747.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2604420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3360"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2604420"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2604420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2604424,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2604420\/revisions\/2604424"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2604421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2604420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2604420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2604420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
