Trump Vows to Use Veto Power as Democrats Gain Control of US Congress
Following the 2026 US midterm elections, Democrats gained control of both the House and Senate, marking a significant shift in congressional power. President Donald Trump acknowledged the results and expressed willingness to work with Democrats but also vowed to use his presidential veto power to block legislation he opposes. Trump shared a photo of a red cap labeled "VETO" and indicated he would become "Mr. Veto," signaling potential legislative confrontations. The veto power remains a key tool for the president amid divided government, with Congress able to override vetoes by a two-thirds majority.
