In Part Four of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt Gingrich makes the case for what he calls "the American Party" — not a new political organization, but a governing platform built on issues where seventy percent or more of Americans already agree, across party lines. Drawing on eight years of polling by his own America's New Majority Project alongside independent pollsters, Newt walks through dozens of issues — voter ID, congressional term limits, middle-class tax cuts, drug pricing transparency, border enforcement, parental rights in education, and more — where supermajorities of Americans agree with each other, even when their elected representatives in Washington don't. Newt is also candid about where his own organization's numbers don't match what other pollsters are finding — and why that transparency matters more than a perfect scorecard.

In Part Three of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt Gingrich tackles the two hardest arguments in the entire 2026 campaign: the economy and Iran. On affordability, Newt makes the Republican case with specific facts and dollar figures: the steepest drop in prescription drug prices in sixty years, GLP-1 medications now available for $149 a month through TrumpRx, $82 billion in individual tax relief claimed in a single filing season, and concrete steps already underway on housing, energy, and regulation. On Iran, Newt is equally direct — the war has not gone as planned, the Iranian regime has proven more determined than expected, and there is no easy exit. But backing down, he argues, means gambling that a regime chanting "death to America" won't eventually make good on it.

In Part Two of his "How to Win 2026" series, Newt makes the case against today's Democratic Party — in their own words. This is the most substantive episode in the series — a methodical, documented case that today's Democratic Party has drifted far from the tradition of Roosevelt and Kennedy into something most Americans simply don't recognize. Using real names, real quotes, real dates, and actual congressional roll calls, Newt builds the argument across eight acts: Democrats calling to abolish ICE and defund the police; open hostility to Israel; a DSA national co-chair calling for abolishing the U.S. Senate on Fox News; candidates who denigrate America on tape; a coalition that rejects free enterprise while a government-run grocery store in Kansas City already proved the model fails; and a brand-new congressional report naming sitting Democrats in what prosecutors call the largest pandemic fraud scheme in American history.
