The preparations include tariffs, visa restrictions, and housing measures, along with readiness for parliamentary investigations.

The White House has been preparing for months for the possibility of a Democratic victory in the US midterm elections, and is developing contingency plans to advance President Donald Trump's policies through executive orders without congressional approval. This was revealed by a White House official and two sources to Reuters. The preparations are underway ahead of the opening of polling stations tomorrow, where Democrats are trying to erase the slim Republican advantage in both houses of Congress. Among the measures being considered: imposing new tariffs on critical minerals and wind turbines, tightening visa rules for international students and foreign workers, and administrative steps to lower housing costs. Meanwhile, administration lawyers are preparing teams to fend off parliamentary investigations, subpoenas for documents, and the use of executive privilege. Trump himself said in an interview that he is expected to become the "veto man" in case of a Republican loss.
