Quick Summary

President Trump told Miranda Devine in an upcoming podcast episode that if Democrats gain control of both houses of Congress after the midterms, he will rely heavily on vetoes to block their legislation and negotiate later. He mentioned this strategy would involve initially vetoing all Democratic proposals for a month or two until they agree to make deals with him. Trump has only issued two vetoes during his second term so far.

Story summary

On November 1, President Donald Trump suggested he might become what he called a "veto president" if the Democrats gain control of one or both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday. During an interview with Fox News and later in an episode of The Post's "Pod Force One" podcast that would drop on Monday, Trump stated, "I guess I’ll become Mr. Veto." He elaborated that after a period of vetoes, negotiations might ensue to make deals. So far during his second term, Trump has only vetoed two bills.
