His unpopularity combined with inflation, security problems and other concerns are likely to help Republicans win House seats this fall. In one New Jersey poll cited by Gingrich, a generic Republican would beat a Democrat by 3% in an election in the blue-controlled state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Leader Kevin McCarthy\u2019s determined, methodical, and systematic leadership, House Republicans are preparing to make history \u2013 fully as much as the Contract with America Republicans did in 1994,&#8221;\u00a0Gingrich said in a press release Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans in 1994 campaigned on a Contract with America, which was partially written by then-Georgia Rep. Gingrich. The contract laying out GOP legislative plans led to Republicans gaining 9 Senate seats and 54 House seats, making the GOP the majority in the House for the first time in 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;McCarthy and his team are developing a Commitment to America,&#8221; Gingrich applauded the House leader.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having participated with Ronald Reagan\u2019s efforts in 1980, the 1994 Contract, and John Boehner\u2019s successful 2010 campaign to retake the House, I can report that McCarthy\u2019s effort is the largest, most inclusive, and most systematic issue development effort I have ever seen,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>With rising inflation, the Republican &#8220;battle cry&#8221; this fall will be &#8220;we can&#8217;t afford it,&#8221; Gingrich said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach people who have never been Republican but find themselves in pain every week trying to make ends meet,&#8221; the former House Speaker wote. &#8220;They simply can\u2019t afford the Democrats\u2019 insane policies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Inflation is at a nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/government\/congress\/democrats-celebrate-1-year-anniversary-biden-stimulus-bill-economists-say\">40-year high<\/a> under the Biden administration while the average cost of a gallon of gas is $4.24, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">AAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The top House Republicans are much younger than the top House Democrats, making the win a generational change, Gingrich pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 82, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is 82 and House Majority Leader James Clyburn is 81, making the top Democrats&#8217; average age 82.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, McCarthy is 57, Minority Whip Steve Scalise is 56 and House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik is 37, making the top Republicans&#8217; average age 50.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They want to turn Republicans into the party of innovation and the party of the future,&#8221; Gingrich wrote.<\/p>\n<p>He added that &#8220;McCarthy wants to focus on four major goals: Safe communities, a secure economy, success for our kids, and accountability in government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gingrich said it is possible that the GOP may have the largest majority since 1920 if midterms go as hoped.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More importantly, it could be the largest American Majority our country has ever seen,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that Republicans in Congress are &#8220;preparing to make history&#8221; by instituting new policies if the GOP retakes control of the House during midterms this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1404115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1404115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1404115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1404115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1404115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
