Will This Be a Shocking Off-Year Election?
Newt Gingrich thinks Republicans could deliver a November shock. The former House speaker predicts a better-than-even chance of one of the most surprising midterm victories in American history, arguing that Democrats’ shift toward socialism will frighten voters. His message to Republicans is simple: stop assuming defeat and give Americans a reason to show up. Gingrich points back to 2016, when he backed Trump’s chances while much of the political establishment expected him to lose. He believes another surprise is possible. This is a political forecast, with no new polling or seat-by-seat analysis to establish it. But with Election Day approaching, he is challenging the idea that Republicans should already be preparing their excuses.
