Trump Vows to Veto Democratic Bills if Party Wins Congress in 2026

President Donald Trump said he would use his veto power to block Democratic legislation if the party wins control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, vowing to maintain his political agenda regardless of the outcome. In an interview with CBS News, Trump cited the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Slaughter as expanding his executive authority over federal agencies, and he indicated the White House is considering further executive actions on immigration and trade. He expressed confidence that vetoes would eventually force Democrats to negotiate bipartisan deals. Democrats secured Senate re-election victories in Georgia and Virginia, though these wins did not alter the chamber's balance of power. Trump defended his extensive campaign tour, claiming it improved Republican prospects despite earlier predictions of significant losses.
