President Donald Trump vowed to veto every bill Democrats send him if they take control of the House or Senate in the midterm elections, then wait for them to come negotiate.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn before leaving for a campaign rally in Florida on Friday, Trump said he expects Republicans to hold their majorities.

“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,” the president said.

When asked about the impact of divided government, Trump said, “If it happens, you veto, veto, veto, and then they come, and they say, how do we get it done? And you make a deal.”

Trump has issued two vetoes so far in his second term but used the veto ten times in his first term.

Overriding a presidential veto requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, which is a threshold Democrats are not expected to reach even in the most unlikely midterm scenarios.

A Democrat House would gain subpoena power and investigative authority, but major legislation would still face both the Senate filibuster and Trump’s veto.

The comments came as Trump continues to appear at rallies aimed at boosting Republican turnout ahead of the November 3 election.

Election forecasters have shifted several House races toward Democrats over concerns about inflation and the Iran conflict, but Trump maintains that Republicans will keep control.
