Kudlow: Trump’s executive order will stop evictions

Bash argued the executive order does not explicitly protect people from evictions, and fails to say that a landlord cannot evict a tenant. Bash also pressed that the memo uses language like “consider, identify, promote and review.”

Kudlow responded that if “HHS declares emergencies, then evictions will be stopped.”

A four-month federal moratorium on evictions that protected millions of tenants from losing their homes in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic expired July 24. Some states have adopted specific measures of their own.

“We don’t want people being evicted, and the bill I’m signing will solve that problem largely, hopefully completely,” Trump told supporters in an address Saturday at Bedminster, N.J.

However, housing advocates say that even if the federal ban is extended, most tenants will still be left in peril.
