Quick Summary

President Trump told Miranda Devine in an upcoming podcast episode that if Democrats gain control of both houses of Congress after the midterms, he will rely heavily on vetoes to block their legislation and negotiate later. He mentioned this strategy would involve initially vetoing all Democratic proposals for a month or two until they agree to make deals with him. Trump has only issued two vetoes during his second term so far.

Story summary

On November 1, 2026, President Donald Trump told Fox News he would become a "veto president" if Democrats retake either the House or Senate in upcoming midterm elections. In an interview with The New York Post's Miranda Devine, also scheduled for release on her podcast "Pod Force One," Trump reiterated his stance, stating, "If that happens, I guess I'll become Mr. Veto." This comes as polls indicate Democrats are likely to gain control of both chambers of Congress in the November 3 midterms. Trump emphasized his ability to use veto powers extensively and referenced a recent Supreme Court decision, Trump v. Slaughter, which he believes allows him significant control over federal agencies, boards, and commissions. Despite potential Democratic victories, Trump remains confident in his capacity to enforce his agenda through presidential vetoes if Republicans lose legislative majorities.
