Possible defeat in the midterm elections; Trump administration prepares alternative plan

 

The plan includes taking important decisions through executive powers without the approval of Congress to avoid possible investigations and obstructions

Senior officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Budget Director Russell Vote, are busy identifying such measures

  Washington: US President Donald Trump's administration has prepared alternative plans for the possible victory of Democrats in the midterm elections and control of Congress. According to media reports, these plans are based on months of preparation, under which important decisions can be taken through executive powers (presidential powers) without the approval of Congress to avoid possible investigations and obstructions. The British news agency Reuters has claimed, citing sources familiar with the plan, that senior officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Budget Director Russell Vote, are busy identifying such measures that President Trump can use without the approval of Congress. According to the report, these measures include important issues such as immigration, tariffs, housing and the use of federal funds.
 

The Trump administration's plan has come at a time when the midterm elections are on November 3 in the United States and polls are pointing to the victory of the Democrats. Public opinion polls show the Democrats in a better position to win the House of Representatives, while the situation regarding the Senate results is still uncertain. The White House has rejected all these polls and concerns about a possible defeat for the Republicans, accusing the media of spreading false impressions. Trump has been attending election rallies across the country for a month to maintain the Republican majority in the last Congress. However, his aides are busy preparing to deal with the political situation that may change in 2027.
 

If the Democrats win the elections and gain control of Congress, they will have the authority to launch investigations against President Trump, block legislation and limit spending.
However, the broad executive authority over trade, foreign policy, and the federal bureaucracy that President Trump has already used aggressively in his second term will remain. If Democrats control Congress, they could also refuse to approve legislation that President Trump supports. However, Trump can also veto laws proposed by Democrats that he does not agree with. Democrats are finding it difficult to win enough seats in the House of Representatives to override the president's veto.
 

President Trump himself has confirmed in a recent interview that ‘if the Democrats win the midterms, he will become Mr. Veto.’ A Trump administration team is also examining how Trump can legally expand the scope of his powers and how these decisions can be defended in court. According to Reuters, an official familiar with the plan said that federal government agencies have also submitted proposals and legal reviews to the White House that would allow them to make decisions without congressional approval. According to a White House official, President Trump has been informed of these preparations and has himself participated in consultations on these matters. According to the report, an official familiar with the plan was asked if Trump would feel comfortable running the government through presidential powers despite Democrats’ control of Congress, and his answer was ‘very much so.’ If this happens, it would not be the first time because President Trump has used the weapon of presidential powers several times since taking office again in January 2025.
 

President Trump has imposed tariffs on a wide range of countries without congressional approval or any legislation, initiated tough immigration actions, taken steps to reduce the number of federal employees and made important foreign policy decisions, including the Iran war. According to Nathan Gonzalez, editor of the non-partisan political analysis organization Inside Elections, Trump has largely ignored Congress in the past two years and tried to make important decisions through ‘executive orders’. He said that if Democrats gain a majority in Congress, Trump can continue this style of governance. However, the congressional investigation is an issue that the Trump administration cannot avoid by using presidential powers alone. A key aspect of these investigations will be whether President Trump used his presidential powers to benefit his personal interests, close associates or financial supporters. According to the report, White House aides have been preparing to deal with such a possible investigation for the past several months.

 

US tone and stance in negotiation offer is quite soft, Iran

   Only if the US changes its attitude and accepts all our conditions, then the Strait of Hormuz will open, Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei

  US-Iran agreement efforts from mid-term elections, proposal to include China as a guarantor, talks in Doha today

  If the enemy attacks again, Iran will decide the time for the end of the response, Mojtaba Khamenei orders commanders to respond to threats in full

  Only after the conditions are accepted, direct or indirect talks with the US will be decided, Abbas Araqchi

       Tehran , Doha , Washington: Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei has claimed that the position and tone in the letter sent by US Vice President JD Vance have softened significantly. Speaking to the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, Mohsen Rezaei said that there has been a complete change in the attitude of US officials, which is a positive sign that the Iranian people have achieved success. Iran's National Security Council The Secretary of the US State Department said that he has not yet responded to the letter from the US Vice President. On the other hand, while discussing Iran's nuclear program, Mohsen Rezaei said that Tehran has not yet made a final decision to change its nuclear doctrine or policy. There are signs of progress regarding possible diplomatic contacts between the US and Iran, however, the differences between the two countries and issues related to the nuclear program remain important.

         A proposed framework prepared by mediators for talks between Iran and the United States has emerged, including proposals to transfer Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile to a third country with the mutual consent of both countries, reduce the level of enrichment, and open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping within seven days of the resumption of talks. The Arab news agency ‘Al-Arabiya’ has claimed to have obtained an initial draft of the proposed framework for talks between Iran and the United States. According to the report, the proposed framework also proposes including China as a potential guarantor country in the US-Iran agreement to ensure the implementation of the talks and the sustainability of the agreement. Under the proposed plan, direct talks between Washington and Tehran are proposed to be held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, instead of Istanbul. According to the draft, the US will ease sanctions, blockades, and economic sanctions in exchange for Iran limiting its nuclear program. According to Al-Arabiya, the effective implementation of the terms of the agreement will be ensured. An independent monitoring system will also be established to create a framework for the agreement. The proposed draft also includes a dispute resolution mechanism, under which mediators and guarantor countries will resolve issues related to delays or violations in the implementation of the agreement in order to prevent renewed tensions.

          According to Iran’s official news agency ‘IRNA’, the Qatari delegation, which arrived in Tehran on Friday morning, also delivered a letter from US Vice President JD Vance to Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei, proposing a new diplomatic path to prevent further US military strikes against Iran. According to Al-Arabiya, the Iranian delegation has arrived in Qatar to discuss these issues regarding US proposals on Tehran’s nuclear program. The report claims, citing sources, that Iran has demanded guarantees for a permanent end to the war in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

         Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered the armed forces to respond to the enemy's threats on all fronts. He met with the top commanders of the armed forces and said that any threat from the enemy should be responded to beyond geographical boundaries, and all material and non-material assets of the American and Israeli enemies should be within the reach of the Iranian forces. Iran's armed forces should be ready to deal with any threat. If the enemy attacks again, Iran will decide the time for the end of the response. The Iranian Supreme Leader directed the armed forces to further strengthen their defense and intelligence capabilities with modern technology and also ordered the armed forces to completely update the list of military targets related to American and Israeli assets.

        Meanwhile, diplomatic sources told a US news website that efforts are underway to reach an agreement between the US and Iran before the midterm elections. According to the website, Qatar is urging the US and Iran to agree on a package of mutual measures that can be implemented within days and the two sides can resume direct talks on Iran’s nuclear program and other issues. According to the US official, two conflicting demands have so far hindered the talks. The Trump administration insists that Iran make concessions on nuclear issues in exchange for resuming talks, while Iran demands that the US first lift its naval blockade, release frozen Iranian assets and allow Iran to sell oil. Talks to pave the way for an agreement between the US and Iran will continue today in the Qatari capital of Doha.

      Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has said that a decision on direct or indirect negotiations will be made only after the US accepts Iran's demands. There are currently no plans to meet with US officials. Mediating countries Qatar and Pakistan are continuing consultations on our demands. The mediators have presented proposals on the nuclear issue, which they are reviewing. Meanwhile, the head of the Iranian armed forces, Major General Ali Abdullahi, has warned the US and Israel, saying that both countries have prepared a list of new targets and installations. Iranian forces are closely monitoring the enemy's movements and preparations. They will not wait for the enemy to take the initiative in the event of any aggressive action. Iran's response will be immediate, effective and independent of geographical boundaries.

If we bought everyone in your election, then all of Israel would be ours, Qatar’s mockery

  The accusation of interference in the Israeli election is a ridiculous and dangerous act, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman

  Qatar has rejected the accusations of interference in the Israeli elections and influencing voters, saying that a campaign is being launched to drag it into Israel’s internal political conflicts.

  According to the Israeli newspaper The Times of Israel, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari said that some Israeli politicians are accusing Qatar of buying Prime Minister Netanyahu, left-wing parties and now Arab voters.

   He described these accusations as ridiculous and dangerous, saying that some Israeli politicians and the media affiliated with them are trying to drag Qatar into their political conflicts.

    Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari sarcastically said that if these claims are accepted as true, then it is as if all of Israel has become Qatar’s property.

   He said that Qatar plays no role in Israel's political or electoral competition, nor has it financed any activity to influence its results.

   On the other hand, the acting director general of the Israeli Central Election Committee, Dan Levin, has called the allegations of widespread electoral fraud baseless, saying that to his knowledge there is no evidence of systematic irregularities and that the voting was in accordance with the law.

   It should be noted that some Israeli politicians accused Arab political parties of receiving financial support from Qatar in the elections held two days ago, because this time the Arab parties have achieved a record victory.
