The bipartisan legislation was crafted in both chambers and must now pass the House. It seeks to build more homes and prevent large investors from out-bidding families.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Monday to pass a sweeping housing affordability bill aimed at lowering costs, putting Congress on the brink of a rare bipartisan victory in Donald Trump’s second term.

The vote was 85-5.

The legislation, which makes it easier to build homes and slaps limits on Wall Street investors from buying up houses, now goes to the House, which hopes to vote on it in the next few days. Then, it would go to Trump’s desk to be signed into law.

    Giving Trump a politically popular win in the months leading up to a pivotal election certainly is a choice. Also, if the GOPedos are supporting this it is probably functionally useless or worse. Are Democrat strategists hyper-inbred sewer mutants who finished bottom of their class and/or do they show up to work wearing MAGA hats?
