In a recent interview, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized President Joe Biden’s administration, asserting that each day brings new challenges that weaken America. Gingrich, who is promoting his upcoming documentary “Journey to America,” expressed his concerns about Biden’s policies and their impact on the nation. He emphasized the urgency for a smooth transition to Donald Trump’s anticipated return to the presidency, predicting that the country would be safer once Biden leaves office.
Gingrich pointed to California as a prime example of misguided governance, highlighting the state’s high taxes and what he described as ineffective green initiatives. He questioned the allocation of substantial funds for projects like “greening” the Port of Los Angeles while essential services, such as fire protection, seem underfunded. He lamented that decisions made by local governments reflect a troubling set of priorities that neglect basic public safety.
The former Speaker also criticized Democratic leadership across various states for failing to adopt practical solutions to persistent problems, citing the use of goats to manage shrubbery and prevent wildfires near the Reagan Library as a simple, effective measure that could be replicated elsewhere. Gingrich argues that the current state of governance reflects a broader decline in competence among leadership.
On the legislative front, Gingrich expressed concern regarding Republican strategies heading into the 2026 elections. He warned that if the GOP splits key tax legislation into two separate bills, it could jeopardize their chances in the upcoming elections and impact the effectiveness of a Trump administration. He urged party leaders to act swiftly to ensure that timely, impactful legislation is passed, cautioning that delays could lead to significant losses in Congress.
With tensions rising and the political landscape shifting, Gingrich’s remarks underscore a sense of urgency among Republicans as they prepare for a contentious electoral season ahead.
