President Trump is scheduled to have lunch today with Senate Republicans amid growing tensions with his party members. Last night, four Senate Republicans joined Democrats to advance a war powers resolution that calls for the president to withdraw troops from the conflict with Iran. The measure is not legally binding and will not be sent to the White House for a signature. In recent days, Trump has repeatedly undermined Senate Republicans' plans to pass legislation and expressed his frustration online.

🎧 The conflict between Trump and lawmakers within his own party largely stems from the president's push for a strict voter ID law known as the SAVE America Act, NPR’s Sam Gringlas tells Up First. Trump says the GOP will never win another election without this law, but there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass it. The president continues to push old claims about stolen elections and target incumbents he perceives as disloyal, making some Republicans concerned that he's undermining their agenda by focusing more on 2020 than 2026. Some departing incumbent members, such as Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, now feel more uninhibited. Cassidy is one of the senators who provided a crucial vote to advance the war powers resolution.

Congress last night passed the largest housing bill in decades. The 21st Century Road to Housing Act passed in the House 358 to 32. The Senate approved it on Monday with similar overwhelming bipartisan support. The measure now heads to Trump's desk for his signature. The bill seeks to address the U.S.'s lack of sufficient housing to meet demand. Realtor.com estimated that last year, the U.S. was short by more than 4 million housing units.

🎧 The part of the bill that’s gotten the most attention is the ban on corporate investors purchasing large numbers of single-family homes, NPR’s Stephan Bisaha says. Trump and lawmakers like Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have criticized private equity firms for buying up these houses with cash offers, which drives prices up. This legislation will limit these big investors from buying more than 350 homes. This bill comprises more than 40 parts, with one of its main goals being to make it easier for builders to construct homes by streamlining federal housing regulations. The bill also encourages local governments to reform their housing regulations, which play a crucial role in how quickly homes can be built. Those reforms could take a while, and other challenges remain, including mortgage rates and land costs. Bisaha says it will take some time for Americans to feel the effects of the bill and for these new homes to be built.

Last night's primary election in New York served as the first significant test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani's political movement, and it was a resounding success. All three candidates he endorsed for Congress won their races, marking a major victory for the left and a major blow for establishment Democrats. Mamdani diverged from Democratic leaders by backing candidates who were unafraid to openly criticize Israel and advocate for ambitious economic policies. Check out the results for New York’s primaries.

🎧 Mamdani and his supporters say that these victories will energize young voters and could increase voter turnout, reporter Steve Kastenbaum says. They believe that their message, which is anti-corporation, anti-billionaire and focused on affordability, resonates with a broad range of Americans. Centrist Democrats are concerned because their party needs to flip seats in swing districts, and they need to win over moderate Republicans to do so. They fear that moving further to the left could hurt that effort.
