President Donald Trump said Sunday he would become "Mr. Veto" if Democrats gain control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections.

In an interview with the New York Post's Miranda Devine on her "Pod Force One" podcast, a clip of which aired on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Trump outlined a plan to block Democratic bills and force negotiations. "I guess I'll become Mr. Veto," he said. "I'm not going to let them ruin it."

Trump added that Democrats would send legislation to his desk, prompting repeated vetoes. "Eventually, after a month or two of getting all vetoed — you know, it's just waste — they come over and make a deal," he said. He expressed hope that Republicans would retain majorities but noted the approach had worked historically.

The remarks come as Democrats need a net gain of four seats in both the House and Senate to flip the current Republican majorities of 218-214 in the House and 53-47 in the Senate. Trump has vetoed two bills during his second term and 10 during his first.

The White House has also prepared for a possible Democratic Congress by developing executive actions on immigration, tariffs, housing costs, and federal spending. Officials including Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Budget Director Russell Vought have worked with the White House Counsel's Office since April on these measures.

Trump has repeatedly campaigned to maintain Republican control, warning that Democratic majorities could reverse administration priorities. The strategy relies on the fact that overriding a veto requires two-thirds majorities in both chambers, a threshold Democrats are unlikely to reach.
