Congress is close to passing its first bipartisan housing affordability bill in a decade, a rare piece of bipartisan legislation with a real chance of passing this year. The effort to get the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk has brought together Banking Chair Tim Scott and ranking member Elizabeth Warren, both Democrats. The bill aims to restrict Wall Street's influence in the housing market, which has traditionally been a non-starter for Republicans and a wish for Democrats. This collaboration between these two lawmakers shows how Trump's influence and willingness to break traditional GOP orthodoxy have led to a compromise on a bill both parties need. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to increase housing supply and affordability and could be a significant policy win for either lawmaker, even as both parties aim to use it against each other in the midterm election.
