  ],
  "textContent": "**Stand Up America Managing Director of Policy and Political Affairs, Brett Edkins, issued the following statement in response to Trump’s**  refusal to sign the bipartisan affordable housing bill**in an effort to pressure congressional Republicans into passing the SAVE Act:**\n\n“Donald Trump has been clear: The SAVE Act is his #1 legislative priority––not lowering costs for working people, creating good-paying jobs, or helping families afford a roof over their heads. Today, he decided it was more important to help Republicans avoid accountability for the cost-of-living crisis than actually do something about it.\n\n“Trump was born on third base, and it shows. He has no clue what it’s like to struggle to make rent, save for a down payment, pay a mortgage, or worry that your kids will be able to afford a home of their own. Trump could’ve signed bipartisan legislation today to help lower housing costs and give Republicans something–– _anything_ ––to show voters that they deserve reelection this November. Instead, he told working families to screw themselves. It’s selfish, petty, and self-defeating.”",
