Trump says he will accept the results but will veto Democratic initiatives
US President Donald Trump has stated that he is willing to accept the outcome of the midterm elections that have stripped Republicans of power in Congress, but that he will veto Democratic initiatives.
US President Trump has expressed willingness to collaborate with Democrats to pass his legislative agenda, stating he looks forward to working with them and expects to reach some type of agreement. He followed the midterm election results from the White House, a stark contrast to his behavior in 2020 after losing the presidential election to Joe Biden.
Trump attributed the Republican defeat to his not being on the ballot and defended his choices of candidates, including Darline Graham and Ken Paxton. However, he later stated he would use his presidential veto power to block Democratic legislative initiatives he disagrees with, having met with advisors Stephen Miller and Ross Vought.
The Democratic gains in the House of Representatives and Senate have stripped Trump of his ability to control the Capitol for the remainder of his term.
