The White House choreographed a victory lap. Trump veered off script. [View all]
(Politico) President Donald Trump was supposed to go to Capitol Hill on Wednesday and spike the football. Instead, he fumbled.
The president abruptly scuttled plans to sign a bipartisan housing bill that would have been a boon to Republicans desperate for campaign trail affordability wins. Trump's announcement that he wouldn't sign it until the Senate passes voting overhauls that he's championed came after his own staff spent the morning taking a very public victory lap ahead of the housing bill's expected signing.
It's the latest example of a president seemingly indifferent to the political realities of the Senate and unable to stay on message ahead of an expectedly close midterm contest in which voters list cost-of-living as a top concern.
