However, he combined his congratulations with a threat: "I know a lot of Democrats, I have full veto power and I'm sure we will find a solution." He added that he believes the Democrats will want to work with him, "otherwise I would just block everything with my veto, and they won't want that."

In an interview with Fox News, Trump explained his plan: The Democrats would present him with "insane" bills that he would veto. "You will present me with things that are crazy and I will veto them," he said. "And after a few months of vetoes, they'll call and say, 'How can we get this passed?' And then we'll work together."

Already on election night, US President Donald Trump reacted to the Democrats' initial electoral successes and wrote on "Truth Social": "I wasn't on the ballot, and if I had been on the ballot, we would have achieved a LANDSLIDE VICTORY. Thank you for your attention.«

The US president admitted on Fox News that the war in Iran played a role in Republican losses in the midterm elections. The war weighed on the Republican candidates, even if voters supported his approach to the issue. "I think part of it was Iran, but at the same time people understood how important what I did in Iran was," he said.
