Trump's strategy if Democrats take Congress: I'll become Mr. Veto
Donald Trump

It was US President Donald Trump himself who, in an interview with the New York Post newspaper, explained the strategy he will follow if Democrats regain the majority in Congress in tomorrow's elections.

However, the White House's plans to cope with a possible defeat are much more complex and everything will depend on the specific outcome of the election.

Trump wrapped up the campaign with a lavish Halloween party hosted on Saturday at Mar-a-Lago.

These midterm elections were held under the shadow of concerns about affordability, economic stability, and inflation fueled by the war in Iran. But Trump appeared disguised as himself, proving that he either doesn't see, or doesn't want to see, the problems of ordinary people.

For this reason, he held two rallies today in the key states of Kansas and Iowa, which were initially canceled but then returned to the program. The fact that the president had to go to two regions that are traditionally considered safe Republican bastions shows the difficulties his party is facing.

Today, Trump will deliver a speech in front of the Reflecting Pool, near the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington, to make a final appeal to voters from a symbolic place of another failure: when the paint on the National Mall fountain basin peeled and began to peel off.

According to polls, the House of Representatives, where Republicans have a majority of 219 seats to Democrats' 214, is considered lost. It remains to be seen how big the Democrats' advantage will be.

The Senate, where Republicans hold 53 seats to Democrats' 47, remains uncertain. If Democrats manage to hold on to Georgia and Michigan, where Haley Stevens, who lost the party's primary, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers today, the fate of the majority will be decided in seven states where the Republican race is tight: Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, Maine, North Carolina and Kansas.

Trump told the New York Post that, in the event of a loss, he would "veto all the Democrat bills."

"After a few months, they will be forced to come to me to negotiate a compromise ," he added.

This strategy would only be possible if the opposition regained control of both chambers of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, thus having the ability to pass its own laws and overturn any appointments.

If Republicans manage to retain the Senate, they will be able to block any initiative by opponents, making a presidential veto unnecessary.

However, if they lose the House, Republicans will no longer be able to pass their own legislation. Since Congress has authority over the budget, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought is looking at ways to repurpose already-approved funds to continue funding Trump's priorities.

Meanwhile, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is drafting a list of measures the president can take through executive orders, without needing congressional approval. The executive branch would allow Trump to continue directing foreign policy and the armed forces.

Another battlefront will be how the White House will resist and obstruct the investigations that Democrats are expected to launch in the House of Representatives.

A daily battle, which threatens to paralyze the US for the next two years./ La Repubblica
