Nov 4 — President Donald Trump has already signalled how he intends to govern should the Republicans lose control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He will become “Mr Veto”.

Speaking ahead of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections, Trump declared that he would veto legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress, although he acknowledged that negotiations could eventually follow.

They revealed a potential strategy for governing under divided government, with the presidency and Congress controlled by opposing parties.

For the United States, this raises an important constitutional question.
