Trump says he would block Democratic legislation and cut deals if Democrats win Congress in 2026 midterms
President Donald Trump told Fox News's Laura Ingraham that if Democrats retake Congress in the November 2026 midterms, he would serve as a "blocker" against their legislation and would probably be able to make deals with them. The interview aired during the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, where Trump had previously warned that Republican control of Congress was vital. Trump also acknowledged that Democrats would likely pursue impeachment if they won control.
