Happy to be here, Michael.
Thanks.
That's how I would view it if I were a politician.
So it seems very intuitive that the president would sign this housing bill because housing affordability is a major issue for Americans.
It's something he talked about on the campaign trail when he was running in 2024.
And the midterm elections are in about four months.
And it would be a very clear demonstration that the president cares about affordability, cares about addressing his cost of living concerns, which is something that Republicans are very eager to demonstrate.
But I think the fact that the president isn't signing this bill really exemplifies just how dysfunctional his relationship with Congress has become and how divergent his own interests are from Republicans in his party and from many of voters in the country.
Sure.
So I think anyone who has tried to buy a house, paid rent, looked for an apartment,
in the last few years can tell you the country's in the middle of a housing crisis and it started in a lot of the big american cities but it seems to have really spread across the country and as both parties are campaigning in 2024 politicians across the political spectrum agree that they need to do something to address housing because people need a place to live and without a place to live you know their chances at all kinds of economic security basically evaporate right
So the president takes office in January 2025, and he's not really saying much about housing.
He has a handful of other priorities that he's addressing.
But in the background, members of Congress decide that they're going to try to do something about this, and they start working on their own housing legislation.
Mm-hmm.
And that's kicking around for a while, but it involves kind of an interesting cast of characters.
So in the Senate, you have Tim Scott of South Carolina.
He's a Republican.
He runs the Senate Banking Committee.
And you have Elizabeth Warren, a progressive Democrat from Massachusetts.
