Newt Gingrich: What We Can Learn from the Contract with America 30 Years Later
Newt Gingrich recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Contract with America, a landmark Republican agenda signed in 1994. The Contract with America was a symbolic contract pledging to deliver on campaign promises to the American people. This initiative led to Republicans picking up 54 congressional seats, flipping control of the chamber for the first time in 40 years.
In his remarks, Gingrich came to the defense of current House Speaker Mike Johnson, who faces a tight election to retain the Republican majority. Gingrich praised Johnson’s calm leadership despite facing opposition from within his own party. The Contract with America’s legacy continues to influence Republican politics, with Gingrich’s comments highlighting the ongoing challenges of maintaining party unity and advancing legislative priorities.
