President Donald Trump called into Fox News following the election to discuss the results and the possibility of working with Democrats as they prepare to take control of Congress. Trump suggested his administration’s actions involving Iran may have influenced voters. He defended those actions, pointing to efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Looking ahead, Trump acknowledged that his presidential veto authority could play a significant role in negotiations with the Democratic majority. “It’s been done before, as you know, numerous times, and it’s a power of veto. It’s one of the stronger powers that a president has,” Trump said. Trump said disagreements over legislation could eventually lead to negotiations between the administration and congressional Democrats. “I have a lot of friends that are Democrats, believe it or not. And I think the Democrats did a good job. I really do. I think they did a good job. They fought hard.”
