Newt Gingrich Hands the GOP a Midterm Survival Plan — The Question Is Whether They're Smart Enough to Use It

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich just laid out a six-point plan for President Trump to keep Republican majorities in both chambers through the midterms, and honestly, it's so straightforward that the fact it needs to be said out loud tells you everything about the current state of the GOP. The architect of the 1994 Republican Revolution is back at the whiteboard because apparently the party still can't figure this out on its own.

You'd think a party with a president who just saw 30-plus endorsed candidates win or advance to runoffs would be brimming with confidence. And yet here we are, needing the old warhorse to spell it out in crayon.

Gingrich laid out his strategy on John Solomon's podcast, and point number one is the one every American with a car already knows: get gas prices below $4 a gallon by Labor Day. As of this week, the national average sits at a painful $4.56 per gallon — up $0.54 from April alone. That's the kind of number that loses elections faster than any scandal, and Gingrich knows it.

Point two: tackle the broader affordability crisis. Oil prices, housing costs, healthcare — the kitchen-table issues that actually decide elections when voters aren't being distracted by whatever insanity the Democrats are cooking up that week.

Point three is where it gets spicy. Gingrich wants Trump to confront the Iranian regime head-on through dominance of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. He didn't mince words, calling Iran "a dictatorship which in January killed 42,000 of its own people." The U.S.-Iran conflict has been simmering since February 28, and Gingrich argues that decisive action there directly feeds point one — cheaper oil, cheaper gas, happier voters.

Point four: let Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. run wild with the Make America Healthy Again agenda and then shout those wins from every rooftop. The MAHA movement has real grassroots energy, and Gingrich sees it as an untapped campaign weapon.

Point five — and this one's fun — compile a comprehensive list of the "craziest things" Democrats have done. Not hard to do. You could fill a library. Gingrich wants Republicans to paint a crystal-clear picture of what a Democratic takeover would mean: "two years of gridlock for America." Remind voters exactly what Kamala Harris and her crew had planned and let them decide if they want a sequel.

Point six: don't just run against the Democrats. Give voters a forward-looking blueprint for the next two years of Republican governance. Tell them what you're going to do, not just what the other side did wrong. Novel concept for a party that sometimes forgets voters want a reason to show up, not just a reason to be angry.

The beauty of Gingrich's plan is its simplicity. Gas prices, affordability, strength abroad, health wins, Democratic insanity, and a future vision. That's a bumper sticker, a rally speech, and a governing agenda all in one.

Trump's already proving he can move the needle on endorsements — just ask Kentucky's Thomas Massie, who got ousted by a Trump-backed challenger. The muscle is there. The question, as always, is whether the swamp creatures in Republican leadership will actually follow through or find some creative way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Newt drew them the map. All they have to do is follow it.
