The Senate on Monday overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill aimed at lowering housing costs, sending the legislation to the House.
The rare show of near-unanimous support comes as lawmakers hustle to score wins on affordability that they can trumpet back home during a midterm campaign cycle that has focused heavily on rising costs.
The bill, which the Senate approved on an 85-5 vote, is expected to pass the House this week and head to President Trump, who is expected to sign it.
Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have been driving the package in the Senate, along with their House counterparts, Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
Scott, speaking on the floor to tout the bill, said young people today feel similarly to how he felt in his youth.
