Trump says he may veto legislation if Democrats win midterms
Donald Trump said he may veto bills if Democrats win the Nov.
3 midterm elections.
He made the comments in a preview of an interview, saying Democrats could send bills to him that he would reject.
Trump predicted that after several rounds of vetoes, the two parties might make a deal.
The election will decide control of Congress, including the House and Senate.
Polls cited in the report show Democrats well positioned to gain the three House seats needed to take control, while several Senate races remain close.
Republican strategists say the Senate is still competitive, despite Democrats’ growing confidence.
The election takes place on Nov.
3, and its results will determine whether Democrats can pursue legislation with a congressional majority.
Donald Trump said he may become “Mr. Veto” if Democrats win control of one or both chambers of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections.
He said he would veto legislation sent to him and suggested the parties might eventually make a deal.
Polls cited by the sources show Democrats well positioned to win the House, while the Senate contest appears closer.
The elections will decide whether Republicans keep control of Congress for the final two years of Trump’s presidency.
Trump made the remarks in an interview with The New York Post that was previewed on Fox News on November 1.
