Trump signals veto battles after midterm losses

President Donald Trump posted an image of a red cap reading "VETO" on Truth Social after saying he would accept the November 3 midterm results, signaling potential legislative clashes with Democrats who secured the House and gained in the Senate. Trump told The New York Times he was "absolutely willing to accept those results" and expressed openness to working with Democrats, despite earlier warnings he would become "Mr Veto" if Republicans lost Congress. A White House official described the administration's mood as "defiant." Democrats' House control grants them investigative powers over issues like the Iran war and immigration, while Trump retains veto authority requiring a two-thirds majority to override, setting up possible confrontations in his final two years.
