The housing bill will become law automatically next week even if Trump refuses to sign it \u2014 though not if he vetoes it, which would send it back to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>But Madrid, the Republican strategist, argued they will not do much for GOP candidates weighed down by weak economic indicators, including high gas prices tied to an unpopular war in Iran that the Trump administration cannot seem to bring to an end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no voter in America who is going to go, \u2018Well, they passed the One Big Beautiful Bill.

The Defense Department sent top officials to Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a tense meeting with lawmakers of both parties, who asked for more information about the request.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans could try to pass the money through reconciliation if Democrats refuse to vote on it, but the process would be arduous and time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Many lawmakers in both parties are also eager to renew a surveillance law that expired last month. Trump impeded the process by naming Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting director of national intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, who distrust Pulte and view his lack of national security experience as disqualifying, refused to renew the law as long as Pulte remains in the role.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6154\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-1024x764.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-1536x1146.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/e33ea6e93ad55c1f381cd9c745910b5c-2048x1528.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Acting director of national intelligence Bill Pulte appears on the National Mall on June 24.
