[Trump: May Use Presidential Veto Power to Counter Democrats if They Control Congress] On November 3rd, local time, voting continued in the US midterm elections. US President Trump stated that if the Democrats make progress in this election and win control of Congress, he might use his presidential veto power to force them to reach a bipartisan agreement. In an interview that day, Trump said, "Historically, you just need to exercise your veto for a few months in a row, and then they come to you and say, 'We have to make a deal.'" Trump also stated that if the Democrats try to limit their power through Congress, he might further expand the scope of executive power. These statements indicate that if the Democrats win a majority in both the House and Senate in this midterm election, the political confrontation between the White House and Congress could intensify. Furthermore, Trump stated that he has done everything he can to campaign for Republican candidates across the country in the past few weeks. He believes that his campaign has helped the Republican Party reverse the previous possibility of a "blue wave" from the Democrats, making the election competition more intense. (CCTV News)
