Trump Posts 'VETO' Cap Photo, Threatens to Block Democrats' Agenda After Senate Loss

President Donald Trump posted a photo of a cap reading "VETO" on Wednesday after Democrats secured control of the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, signaling his readiness to block their legislation. Democrats flipped Republican-held seats in Texas, South Carolina, and North Carolina while retaining key positions in Georgia and New Hampshire, putting them on the brink of also winning the House. Trump claimed he would have won in a landslide if he had been on the ballot, though he told The New York Times he would accept the results and work with Democrats. The election outcome reflected voter discontent over rising living costs, Trump's tariff policies, and the US war against Iran. A Democratic majority would allow the party to obstruct Trump's agenda and launch investigations into alleged corruption within his administration.
