The clock is ticking for President Donald Trump to either sign or veto a bipartisan bill that could help renters and prospective homeowners nationwide, reports show.

The housing legislation will go into effect midnight Friday as the 10-day deadline to either sign or kill the bill elapses. Despite the bill's strong bipartisan support and the pressing need for housing, Trump has taken no action, noted political analyst Amy Suskind.

"It’s one of the least politically astute moves that I can remember," she wrote on X . "He just doesn’t care."

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims at ease the nation’s affordability crisis and passed in both the House and Senate last month.

But Trump canceled his signing ceremony on June 24 as he demanded Congress push the SAVE America Act forward instead, an MS NOW report notes.

"The housing legislation represents one of the rare major bipartisan achievements of the 119th Congress," MS NOW reported, "bringing together lawmakers from both parties around a package intended to increase the nation’s housing supply and lower costs for renters and prospective homebuyers."
