Donald Trump said he could become “Mr. Veto” if Democrats win control of Congress in the midterm elections, saying he would reject legislation and might later negotiate with lawmakers. The supplied reports also describe the election outlook, but do not establish its outcome.

  • Trump said that if Democrats win, he may veto legislation they send him; he also suggested that repeated vetoes could lead to negotiations.
  • The remarks came in a New York Post interview clip aired on Fox News; the full podcast episode was due Monday.
  • The centre report says Democrats needed three House seats to take control, while seven Senate races were described as very close.
  • The report says Trump had vetoed two bills in his second term and 10 in his first term.
  • Trump also said he would like to run for another term if he had the chance; the report notes the 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two elections.
