Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Says He May Become 'Mr. Veto' If Democrats Win Congress
Caption: Trump Says He May Become 'Mr. Veto' If Democrats Win Congress. President Donald Trump said he could become "Mr. Veto" if Democrats take control of Congress in the midterm elections. Trump said he would veto legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress, adding: "I'm not going to let them ruin it”. The president also suggested the two sides could eventually reach agreements, saying "at some point, we'll probably make deals”. Trump has repeatedly said he expects Republicans to retain control of Congress and said he hoped the prospect of divided government would not arise. Trump is campaigning in Kansas and Iowa ahead of Election Day, two states he has won in each of his three presidential campaigns. Senior White House officials have reportedly explored ways to pursue Trump's agenda without congressional approval, including through executive orders. Trump previously governed with a divided Congress after Democrats won control of the House in the 2018 midterms while Republicans retained the Senate. The president said repeated vetoes could eventually bring Democrats to negotiate with the White House and lead to bipartisan agreements.
