Graphic: World Brief Now

President Trump told Fox News that Democrats "did a good job" and "fought hard," and he posted an image of a red hat reading "Veto" on Truth Social late Tuesday, Fox News reported. "They'll send over things that are insane and I'll veto them," Trump said, adding that after a couple of months of vetoes the two sides would work together. He said higher gasoline prices tied to the Iran conflict, not the war itself, hurt Republicans.
