Trump vows veto power if Democrats win Congress

President Trump said he is prepared to use veto power and other executive authorities if Democrats win control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, citing a Supreme Court ruling that he says grants him "tremendous powers." In a phone interview with CBS News, Trump welcomed the nickname "Mr. Veto" and said he could force Democrats to negotiate bipartisan deals. He cited the Trump v. Slaughter decision, which he said enables sweeping control over federal agencies regardless of congressional majorities, and predicted a "dramatic showdown" if Democrats gain power. Trump remained optimistic about GOP chances, saying "we have a good chance" but "we're not going to be embarrassed." He also discussed White House renovations, including a new ballroom and a proposed 250-foot arch, and said he is not yet discussing a potential 2028 campaign.
