U.S. President Donald Trump said on Nov. 3, as voting in the U.S. midterm elections continued, that he could use the presidential veto to counter Democrats if they make gains and win control of Congress. In remarks made during an interview, Trump said a sustained use of vetoes could force Democrats into bipartisan negotiations, arguing that after several months they would come back and say a deal had to be reached. He also said that if Democrats tried to use Congress to limit his authority, he might expand his use of executive power. The comments point to the possibility of sharper confrontation between the White House and Congress if Democrats were to secure majorities in both the Senate and the House. Trump also said he had done everything he could in recent weeks to campaign for Republican candidates across the country, and claimed his efforts helped Republicans blunt what might otherwise have become a Democratic “blue wave,” making the races more competitive.
As voting in the U.S. midterm elections continued on Nov. 3, President Donald Trump said he may use the presidential veto if Democrats make gains in the election and win control of Congress.
In an interview that day, Trump said sustained veto use could push Democrats into bipartisan talks. 「Historically, all you have to do is veto for a couple of months, and they come and say, ‘We have to make a deal.’」
Trump also said that if Democrats tried to use Congress to limit his power, he might broaden his use of executive authority.
The remarks suggest political confrontation between the White House and Congress could intensify if Democrats win majorities in both the Senate and the House.
Trump added that over the past few weeks he had done everything he could to campaign for Republican candidates across the country. He said his campaigning helped Republicans reverse what might otherwise have become a Democratic “blue wave,” making the election more competitive.
