President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he plans to use his veto power on bills or resolutions Democrats want to pass if they win in either the House or the Senate, with days to go before the November midterm elections.
"I think the Republicans are going to win - but if there was gridlock, what happens is I veto everything, and then the Democrats come and want to make a deal," he said.
When pressed further on congressional gridlock if Democrats win Congress, he responded by saying that historically, a president would then "veto, veto, veto, and they come and they say, 'How do we get it done.' And we make a deal."
Trump has issued two vetoes during his second administration, while his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, used his veto power 13 times. In his first term, Trump vetoed 10 measures.
