Gillibrand Slams Trump's Decision To Cancel Signing Of Major Housing Bill, Calls For Congress To Override If He Vetoes

Jun 24, 2026

Today, in response to President Trump canceling his planned signing ceremony for the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act in an attempt to pressure Republicans to pursue his dangerous elections bill, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement:

"This is ridiculous. Housing costs are surging and the American people are struggling, but the president is refusing to sign the most significant housing bill in decades that would build more housing, lower costs, and stop private equity and Wall Street from buying up homes. If this is the president signaling his intent to veto this legislation, Congress must come together to override his veto, pass this commonsense bill into law, and get the American people the relief they desperately need."
