Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is offering a six-point plan for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party to win the midterms in November, after the president's big victories Tuesday night.
The president endorsed dozens of candidates in primaries across six states, resulting in over 30 of them either winning their respective races or advancing to a runoff. Some Trump-backed candidates even ousted sitting lawmakers such as Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie.
To be sure, Republican and Democratic strategists alike have warned the GOP risks losing control of the House and perhaps the Senate amid high consumer costs, particularly those at the gas pump that have steadily climbed toward record highs since roughly the start of the U.S. war with Iran on Feb. 28.
Still, Gingrich, who was speaker from the mid- to late-1990s but remains one of his party's foremost thought leaders, has proposed a methodical strategy for Trump to boost support ahead of the elections.
