Exclusive: Johnson says housing bill will become law, with or without Trump - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/06/29/trump-veto-housing-bill-mike-johnson/90746658007/
"WASHINGTON – The landmark housing bill Congress approved last week will become law with or without President Donald Trump's signature, House Speaker Mike Johnson says.
The president will either allow the bipartisan bill that passed the House and Senate with overwhelming majorities to take effect or he will come around to signing it, Johnson told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview at the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson said he again pushed the president during a two-hour Oval Office meeting on Monday, June 29, to sign the legislation that aims to make housing more affordable."
