Trump says he’ll become ‘Mr. Veto’ if Democrats take Congress
Trump said Democrats could face blanket vetoes and that the White House is preparing executive options if Congress flips.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump warned he may become a "veto president" if Democrats capture one or both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, expecting to issue vetoes for "a month or two" before negotiating compromises.
- Trump's threat highlights the potential for legislative gridlock should Democrats win control of Congress, as the president has repeatedly used executive orders to bypass lawmakers during his second term.
- White House officials are formulating executive actions to advance the administration's agenda, including new tariffs on wind turbines and stricter visa rules for temporary foreign workers, according to administration officials.
- A Democratic majority would empower lawmakers to launch investigations, block judicial nominees, and use subpoenas to scrutinize executive decisions and administration conduct, according to Democratic strategists.
- Constitutional checks limit future legislative battles; Congress can override vetoes with two-thirds majorities in both chambers, while courts retain power to invalidate executive measures exceeding presidential authority.
