US President Donald Trump has reacted after the Democrats' victory in the midterm elections, signaling a possible clash with the new majority in Congress. Through a post on his social network Truth Social, Trump published a photo of a red hat with the inscription "VETO", a message that is interpreted as a warning against using presidential power to block Democrats' legislative initiatives.
The reaction comes after Democrats managed to secure majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate, ending Republican control of Congress. Trump had previously warned that he would use his veto to oppose Democrats' proposals if they won the election. In another post, the president announced that in the coming days he would analyze the electoral results, commenting on the factors that influenced the victories and losses of Republican candidates.
During the campaign, Trump had presented the election as a referendum on his presidency, urging supporters to vote as if his name were on the ballot. However, several candidates he supported, including Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio and Ken Paxton in Texas, failed to win.
Particularly significant was the Republican loss in Texas, where Democrats secured a Senate seat for the first time in decades. With the change in the majority in Congress, Trump is expected to face greater obstacles to passing reforms and implementing his policy program. As Democrats gain greater control over the administration, the president has signaled that he may use his veto to block legislation he does not support.
