CNN’s Harry Enten shrieked in mock terror at President Donald Trump’s abrupt about-face on signing a bipartisan affordable-housing bill to knuckle down on his bill to impose new restrictions on voting.
The 80-year-old president caught lawmakers and staffers off guard by announcing just over an hour before the signing ceremony that he would not add his signature to the law until Congress passed his SAVE America Act, and the chief data analyst told “CNN News Central” that Republicans are likely horrified.
“You know, if I was a Republican member of Congress and I am listening to President Trump, the only words that enter my mind are, ‘Oh God, oh God, no, what are you doing?’” Enten wailed. “That is because the issue has not gone away at all. Google searches for affordability, look at this, up 500 percent this week versus the pre-2026 average. In fact, they reach, you have it going across the top of your screen, reach an all-time … high this week. So no, the issue of affordability is not going away.”
“There is a reason why Republicans wanted this legislation not just passed,” he added, “but signed into law by the president of the United States, because this this is the issue, of course, that got Donald Trump elected in the first place, and they want to be able to give their voters something the are members of Congress something so that the voters, perhaps you know, don’t vote them out of office come November.”
Host John Berman marveled at the finding about searches for affordability hitting an all-time high and questioned Trump’s decision to abandon the housing bill for now, and Enten slammed the move.
“Great politics,” Enten said, sarcastically.
“President Trump got elected to bring down inflation, got elected to fix the economy, in the voters’ mind,” Enten continued, “and do they think he’s keeping his campaign promises? No, no, no, no, oh God, no, Trump kept his 2024 campaign promises. You know, you go back to April of 2025 among voters. The bare majority, but a majority nonetheless, 52 percent said yes, 47 percent said no, that 52 percent down to the ground now. Now it’s 40 percent, while that percentage said no, it’s up now it’s the clear majority, 55 percent say that Trump is not keeping his campaign promises.”
“So when he is off yesterday, not signing that bill to help bring down, make housing more affordable, instead talking about the SAVE Act, this is what they’re talking about, President Trump taking his eyes off the ball and not keeping his 2024 campaign,” Enten added.
