Newt Gingrich: GOP ‘must learn to quit underestimating’ Biden

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said in a blog post that the Republican Party “must learn to quit underestimating” President Biden.
Gingrich said in the post on his website that Biden has been successful by his own definition of success, and Republicans’ aversion to him has caused them to underestimate him and Democrats.
“We dislike Biden so much, we pettily focus on his speaking difficulties, sometimes strange behavior, clear lapses of memory, and other personal flaws,” he said.
Gingrich’s comments come after Democrats outperformed expectations in the midterms on their way to holding their majority in the Senate and only narrowly losing control of the House. Republicans hoped to make sweeping gains in both houses of Congress, but many candidates lost in key races.
He said Biden was able to get trillions of dollars in spending and a series of “radical” bills from a four-vote majority in the House and a tie in the Senate, where Vice President Harris serves as the tiebreaking vote. He added that the president has also ensured that U.S. weapons and financial support help Ukraine cripple Russian troops who were invading.
