NEWT:
Well, I think, first of all, it’s a big boost to the Democrats and it should trouble every Republican. These were not the results they expected, just as in 2022. I was among those surprised because we didn’t get the results we expected. So there’s some mismatch between what we’re learning in the polls and what’s happening in the campaigns. And Republicans have to solve that if they go into 2024 in the general election with the same vulnerabilities, the same lack of understanding of what’s going on. And if they get outspent by a large of margin, as happened to Republicans this year, we have a real problem. And I think it starts with how do we effectively answer the Democrats who really are extremist on abortion, favoring tax paid abortions up to the last day of the ninth month, and yet they managed to push the Republicans into being the extremists. So if we do if we can’t win that argument and convince the country that the real extremist on abortion are the Democrats, we have a very deep vulnerability and they’re not stupid. They’re going to stay on it until we solve it.
NEWT:
Well, I think partly they have to convince all of the people who are pro-life that 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother will save dramatically more lives than losing every time and having radicals who are for tax paid abortion on demand on the last possible day of the ninth month. And they’ve got to convince them that the 15 week solution is a dramatically better pro-life solution than getting beaten again and again and again. Otherwise, you’re going to end up in a country where the Democrats will have won on a single issue despite everything else that’s going on.
NEWT:
I think it will be Trump. Biden. There’s no reason for Biden to step down. None.
