What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPresident Trump says that if Republicans lose the House and the Senate, he'll become, quote, Mr. Veto, and he's not going to let their bills through.

  2. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentBloomberg says he added that after a month or two of vetoes, Democrats would come over and make a deal.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDemocrats are making Trump's wealth the closing argument. CNBC's last pre-election poll found voters worry about corruption more than grocery and gas prices.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAmong voters who named corruption their top issue, Democrats led by seventeen points.
