By Newt Gingrich
As the House Democrats try to understand why their expected gains in 2020 turned out to be substantial losses, they should take a minute to reflect on the disastrous results of the midterms of 1994 and 2010 – the last midterm elections after new Democratic presidents were elected.
In 1994, I led the House GOP as we won a majority for the first time in 40 years. At the ballot boxes, the American people repudiated the Democrats’ leftwing policies, including tax increases, a huge health care proposal (Hillarycare), and efforts at gun control. Their vote was also a statement against President Bill Clinton’s dramatic shift to the left after he had campaigned as a moderate but went along with the leftwing of Congress as president.
In 1994, Republicans gained 6.4 percent to earn 51.5 percent of the total vote, while the Democrats dropped 5.4 percent to end up with a total of 44.7 percent of the vote. I went from minority whip to Speaker of the House while Democratic Speaker Tom Foley was defeated for re-election.
While the Republicans had not been re-elected as a majority since 1930 (64 Years) we established a reputation for keeping our word with the Contract with America. Reforming welfare, passing the largest capital gains tax cut in history, reforming the US Food and Drug Administration, overhauling federal communication laws, and balancing the budget for four straight years gave House Republicans enough support from the American people to hold the majority for 12 years. |

BDS is nothing new. Since the medieval period, Jews have continuously been the targets of antisemitic boycotts, which, historically, often preceded expulsions and physical attacks. The boycotts were meant in part to coerce Jews into acting against their own interests and to ostracize them from the rest of society. |

Newt: I think that it is going to be hard, from my standpoint, to find a way to either shrink the Democrats aspirations or to convince Republicans to bail out blue states that have been unbelievably willing to throw money away for 40 years, have pension funds that are hopeless and would like the rest of us to pay for it. |

Newt: I think President Trump owes it to the American people to not concede until we've had honest and accurate counts in the disputed states. In the case of Georgia for example, one of the largest voting centers in Fulton county told the Republican poll watchers at 10 p.m. at night that everyone was going home. As soon as the Republicans left, they went back and counted ballots for three more hours with nobody there watching them. It denies common sense not to believe that they were stealing. |

November is a busy time for many Americans as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. As we gather to give thanks for our many blessings this year, the Gingrich Foundation is proud to recognize Feeding America as its November Charity of the Month.
Feeding America works to keep millions of less fortunate Americans from going hungry. It is the leading domestic hunger relief charity in the United States, with 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs throughout the country.
Feeding America also provides important coordination between other relief organizations and large food manufacturers in order to ensure that food reaches those who are most in need. Each year, Feeding America helps feed 46 million Americans, about 5 million of whom are seniors and 12 million of whom are children. Importantly, due to COVID-19, more than 50 million people in America may be in need – including 17 million children.

Everything is changing.
From the spread of the coronavirus, to the highs and lows of the economy, and on to the election, 2020 will continue this process of change.
We don’t know yet which way the American people will go, but we can describe what is at stake as the radical democratic left continues to go all out to destroy President Trump and his followers. This wild period of change has been intensified by the virulent spread of COVID-19, but its roots go back to the summer of 2015.
This book puts this kaleidoscope of change into context and outlines the choices Americans face in what may be the most decisive election of our lifetimes. No presidential contest since 1860 has presented the American people with a decision more definitive than the 2020 election offers. It is the radical democratic left vs President Trump.
