President Donald Trump threatened to veto every piece of legislation put forward during the second half of his administration if Democrats flip control of the House or Senate during next month’s midterm elections.
“Well, I think the Republicans are going to win. But if there was, you call it gridlock, what happens is I veto everything,” Trump told reporters Friday morning while speaking on the South Lawn. “And then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”
Historical precedent and polling data suggest Democrats are on the cusp of flipping at least the House next month and possibly the Senate, due to public frustration over the Iran war and high costs of living.
So, they will override his veto
They’re talking about Chuck Schumer. You can read plenty of articles about his anti-American politics. There’s literally a quote from him saying “My job is to make the American public love Israel” or something similar. He is constantly putting down Democrats that are winning elections with popular policies because he hates progress. He’s also the one that caved on the government shutdown and forced through funding for ICE thugs to indescriminately murder people.
Is Chuck Schumer the parliamentarian?
Edit: Just to be clear. I know Chuck Schumer is a ghoul and is very close to the same as a GOP member, but I’m not sure what relationship you’re drawing between the parliamentarian and him?
He’s the minority leader currently because the Dems don’t control the senate. After the election if the Dems take control, he would be.
He “might” be the Majority leader. Are you saying he’ll prevent any real progress by being the Majority leader?
Yes. He has explicitly stated that in interviews.
This has brought me no closer to understanding the parliamentarian, but I appreciate your replies.
Not everyone listens to the parliamentarian all the time. It’s basically just a person who says, “this is/not allowed.”
They are not. The majority leader is not the parliamentarian.
