President Donald Trump Claims He'll "Veto Everything" if Democrats Retake Congress, and It Has Big Implications for the Stock Market

With Democrats favored to retake Congress in midterm elections, President Trump has vowed to become 'Mr. Veto' and block Democratic legislation. While a divided government could lock in tax rates and provide predictability, it may create friction over debt ceiling negotiations and AI regulation. Historically, the S&P 500 has risen at the 6 and 12-month marks following every midterm election over 75 years, suggesting long-term investors should remain optimistic despite short-term volatility.
