INTERVIEW | Newt Gingrich Goes Behind the Scenes of 'Republican Revolution'


Listen Later

The Republican “Contract With America” is arguably one of the most influential political documents in recent history. 


In 1994, then-Reps. Newt Gingrich of Georgia and Dick Armey of Texas drafted the Contract With America, rallying Republicans around key policy priorities ahead of that year's midterm elections. Gingrich credits the document with leading to Republicans' historic House takeover. 


“To show you how historic it was, there's a 40-year period when there [was] no Republican majority,” says Gingrich, who became speaker of the House. 


The momentum continued, and Republicans “held the House for 12 years, but what was important was, when we lost it in 2006, Republicans knew they could be a majority,” the former Georgia lawmaker says.


In his new book, “March to the Majority: The Real Story of the Republican Revolution,” Gingrich explains how the Contract With America fundamentally changed the Republican Party. He also shares stories about President Ronald Reagan and weighs in on the current political climate.
