US midterms: Trump's veto powers & how he can use them to block Democrats' agenda

What the coverage says

Following the midterm elections, Democrats are poised to control both chambers of Congress when the new session begins on January 3, according to Mint and the Economic Times. In response to this shift in power, Donald Trump has signaled that he will rely on his presidential veto as his "ultimate power," as NDTV reports, to block legislation advanced by the Democratic majority. While Mint notes that losing sole control over lawmaking will force changes when the new Congress takes office, NDTV Profit adds that lawmakers retain mechanisms to challenge his decisions.
