House Republicans join with Democrats to override Trump's veto of defence bill

Bernie Sanders vows to block Senate override until McConnell schedules vote on $2,000 stimulus payments

Donald Trump suffered fresh humiliation on Monday when more than a hundred Republicans joined Democrats in the House of Representatives to override his veto of a $741bn defence bill.

If, as expected, the Senate follows suit later this week, it will be Congress's first such rebuke of his presidency, which has only three weeks left to run.
