2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 4

Summary

  • Trump said he would block Democratic bills if Republicans lose Congress, arguing he can still drive his agenda through vetoes during the final 2 years of his term.
  • In a CBS interview on Election Day, he said vetoes typically force negotiations and predicted Democrats would eventually have to make a deal.
  • Trump also pointed to the Supreme Court's Slaughter v. Trump ruling, which let him remove FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter early, as evidence of a stronger presidency with broader executive power.
  • After a 29-day campaign blitz across more than 20 states, including 33 rallies and 30 in-person appearances since August, Trump said GOP prospects had improved from expected losses to a possible win.
