特朗普总统周一表示，如果共和党在下周的中期选举中失去对众议院的控制权，他将寻找与民主党合作的途径。他说，分裂政府以前也曾奏效，并指出总统的否决权是一项关键工具。“停火已开始”：梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋的局部俄乌停火生效特朗普指向分裂政府下的否决权周一，特朗普在接受记者提问时被问及，如果民主党尽管经历了他的竞选努力仍夺得众议院控制权，他将如何施政。

特朗普表示，他希望共和党能保住众议院控制权，但辩称总统以前也曾在分裂政府下施政，并仍能与反对党达成协议。“我们会想办法的，”特朗普说。
Trump said he hoped Republicans would retain control of the House but argued that presidents have previously governed under divided government and still reached agreements with the opposition.“We’ll figure a way,” Trump said.
他还强调了总统依据宪法拥有的否决国会通过立法的权力。“我有强有力的否决权。我希望不会出现那种情况，但如果出现了，以前也发生过，”特朗普说。
He also highlighted the constitutional authority of the president to veto legislation passed by Congress. “I have a strong veto. I hope that won’t be the case, but if it is, that’s happened before,” Trump said.
根据美国宪法，经众参两院通过的立法必须由总统签署才能成为法律。国会只有在两院均以三分之二多数通过，才能推翻总统的否决，这使得否决权在分裂政府时期成为一项强有力的谈判工具。白宫为特朗普辩护，回应“操纵”天主教主教谋取政治利益的指控特朗普重申选举诚信立场当被问及是否会接受选举结果时，特朗普也重申了他长期以来关于选举诚信的立场。
Under the US Constitution, legislation approved by both the House and Senate must be signed by the president to become law. Congress can override a presidential veto only with a two-thirds majority in both chambers, making the veto a powerful negotiating tool during periods of divided government.

被单独问及无论结果如何是否会尊重选举结果时，特朗普回答：“如果选举是诚实的，我会尊重。”
Asked separately whether he would respect the election results regardless of the outcome, Trump replied, “I will, if they’re honest elections.”
特朗普一贯主张美国选举应包含更强有力的保障措施，并在以往的竞选中频繁质疑选举管理。然而，选举官员坚持认为，美国选举受到广泛的安全措施和审计流程的约束。
Trump has consistently argued that US elections should include stronger safeguards and has frequently questioned election administration in previous campaigns. Election officials, however, have maintained that US elections are subject to extensive security measures and auditing processes.
法院也驳回了特朗普政府关于以往选举（包括2020年总统大选）存在大规模舞弊的多项指控。下周选举的结果将决定共和党是否保持对国会的统一控制，还是民主党将获得调查政府、影响支出立法以及通过众议院委员会塑造特朗普国内议程的能力。
Courts have also rejected numerous allegations from the Trump administration of widespread fraud in previous elections, including the 2020 presidential election. The outcome of next week’s elections will determine whether Republicans retain unified control of Congress or whether Democrats gain the ability to investigate the administration, influence spending legislation and shape Trump’s domestic agenda through House committees.
