Trump touts 'ultimate power' of veto if Democrats win control of House and Senate

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is prepared to veto Democratic legislation when needed if Republicans lose control of Congress for the final two years of his presidency.

As Americans flock to decide control of Congress as well as key gubernatorial and state legislative races on Election Day, Trump made it clear he remains confident in his ability to pursue the MAGA agenda even if his party loses legislative majorities.

"I have the ultimate power — it's called 'veto,'" Trump told CBS News during a phone interview.

Trump also cited Slaughter v. Trump, a Supreme Court ruling that allowed him to fire Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission, earlier this year before her term ended.

"We won the Slaughter case, and the Slaughter case gives the president tremendous powers that it never had before," Trump told CBS News.

"The presidency, our presidency, is considered a strong presidency," Trump continued. "You can do a lot."

Trump suggested that his veto power could force Democrats to come to the bargaining table.

"Historically, you veto for a couple of months, and then they come and say, 'We've got to make a deal,'" Trump said.

Trump, fresh off a weeks-long campaign blitz that took him across more than 20 states, remains optimistic that the GOP will outperform expectations.

"If you remember, about 30, 40 days ago, people were saying it's going to be a big loss, and now people are talking about, like we could even win it," Trump told CBS.

"I think the tour made a big difference. I did 29 days, 33 of these things, and they were all massive rallies, they were big rallies," he added. "No one has ever done anything like it. And I think we got the word out. I think we got the enthusiasm out, too."

Trump has made 30 in-person political appearances since August, including more than 27 rallies in October. He has also participated in several tele-rallies in the lead-up to Election Day.
