McCarthy won debt fight, now Republicans need to use those strategies to win again. They must continue to work with what Americans want Congress to achieve.
So, Republicans must thoroughly understand where the American people are – and what they want Congress to achieve. All possible reforms and spending cuts Republicans could fight for must be considered through this lens. Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999 and a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. He is chairman of Gingrich 360.
Week after week, day after day, McCarthy and his Republican allies communicated there could be no debt ceiling increase without spending cuts and policy changes. Since Biden’s no-cuts position was supported by only 24% of the American people, he was going to eventually lose. His refusal to negotiate was even more unpopular and unacceptable to most Americans.
