Congress overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan bill aimed at lowering the cost of buying a home, and President Trump was set to sign it Wednesday. But then Trump announced he won't sign the bill until Congress passes a strict voter ID law. We discuss what to make of Trump's apparent reversal and how it affects Republicans' efforts at retaining control of Congress this November.  This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, personal finance reporter Stephan Bisaha, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
