- He calls for Trump to pursue five popular policies.

## Summary

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned that Democrats could damage their chances in the 2028 election if they shift further left after their midterm victories and refuse to work with President Trump. He urged both parties to prioritise practical solutions over political fights, saying voters may punish either side if it overreaches or fails to deliver.

Gingrich described Republicans’ midterm result as a heavy defeat but said it was only the seventh-largest midterm loss since 1938, noting that the party’s 1994 gains were larger. He advised Trump to focus on five popular policy solutions and urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to resist pressure from the party’s progressive wing. Gingrich also blamed candidate quality for some Republican losses, singling out defeated Texas Senate candidate John Paxton, and said successful bipartisanship requires presidential support.
