“Senior House Republicans are putting together a list of policy pledges to run on in the 2022 elections, and they are consulting with the architect of one of their biggest historical midterm victories,” the Washington Post reports.
“Newt Gingrich, whose ‘Contract with America’ in 1994 is linked with the GOP takeover of Congress in that midterm cycle, said he has been advising House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on a set of policy items for Republicans to take to voters ahead of the November elections.”
“Republicans are expected to focus their new platform on education policies aimed at tapping into parental discontent; countering the rise of China with new economic measures; and ‘oversight’ of the Biden administration. They are also looking at invoking other traditional GOP goals such as cutting taxes, restricting immigration, criticizing Silicon Valley and repealing environmental rules.”
Where does “make money” come into any of this?
Newt ain’t gonna be making $$$$?
It doesn’t say that he is being paid in his role as an advisor, but if he was, it would be costing House Republicans money, not making them money.
The headline makes no sense whatsoever.
Actually?
They ALL gonna make money….
To victory’s if they make it will go the ‘spoils’
Lobbyists, etc, make money regardless of who is in power. There will be more opportunities for people if their side is in the majority but that is at the lower level.
Congressional salaries are the same regardless of who has the majority.
The danger for Republicans is that the Alabama ruling (certain to be appealed to SCOTUS) could reverberate to other states, forcing the creation of additional Black opportunity seats in Louisiana and South Carolina. Up to a three-seat swing riding on these cases.
