Trump Vows Vetoes After Democrats Flip 7 Senate Seats and 24 House Districts

Summary
Democrats captured both chambers in Tuesday's midterms, flipping at least seven Republican-held Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts, a result Trump said surprised him.
Trump responded by promising to veto what he called "insane" Democratic bills, saying repeated vetoes would eventually force negotiations and adding that some Democratic lawmakers had already contacted him.
Gasoline prices tied to the Iran conflict were Trump's main explanation for the GOP losses; he said voters backed his Iran policy but balked at the short-term cost at the pump.
The losses leave Democrats able to block Trump's legislative agenda, reject nominees and open investigations, reshaping the final two years of his presidency.
