The U.S. midterm elections are here, and the Democratic Party has won victories in many key constituencies and gained control of Congress.
The U.S. midterm elections took place on the 3rd, and the Democratic Party won victories in many key constituencies. U.S. media also claimed that the Democratic Party gained control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Although Trump said he could cooperate with the Democratic Party after the Democratic Party gained the upper hand, "AFP" emphasized that Trump's defeat in the election does not mean the loss of presidential power. It is unclear how long his harmonious attitude will last.
According to the "AFP" report, Trump expressed congratulations to the Democratic Party on the 3rd and said he was willing to cooperate with them. But Trump also pointed out that he has the right to veto any bill sent to the Oval Office of the White House. "They're going to come up with some ridiculous bills, and I'm going to veto them," Trump said. "They're going to call in a few months and ask how to get these things done, and then we're going to work together."
"AFP" stated that the veto power in Trump's words is one of his powers as president, and foreign policy is also an area where Trump can still fully utilize his presidential power. Although Trump said he prefers to end the US-Iran conflict by reaching an agreement with Iran, "AFP" believes that Trump may still launch large-scale military operations against Iran again in the future.
"AFP" claimed that from vetoing bills proposed by the Democratic Party to taking military action against Iran again, these are all powers that Trump may still use in the last two years of his term, and this is enough to cause major political turmoil. Peter Loge, dean of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, also said in an interview with AFP, "Whenever Trump is forced into a corner, he will always raise his voice and fight back hard."
"AFP" added that Trump, a construction tycoon, may also choose to stay away from political conflicts for the time being and turn his focus to what he likes, which is to leave a historical legacy with physical and symbolic significance in Washington. The work that Trump is most proud of is the giant banquet hall currently being built in the White House at a cost of US$400 million (approximately NT$13.1 billion). The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, not far from when Trump officially leaves office.
