Trump says he’ll become ‘Mr. Veto’ if Democrats take Congress
Trump said repeated vetoes could force Democrats to negotiate after the midterms, while White House officials prepare executive options and possible investigations.
- 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.
