Bloomberg reports, citing a Fox News clip of a New York Post interview, that President Donald Trump said he may have to become ‘Mr. Veto’ if Democrats win a majority in Tuesday’s midterm elections. The Daily Mail and the New York Post report the same remark and add that Trump said he would veto Democratic bills and that he and Congress would then probably make deals. The New York Post says Trump has vetoed two bills in his second term and ten in his first. Trump said he hoped Republicans would not have to face that situation.
