President Biden recently received praise — backhanded and qualified, but praise all the same — from one of the figures least likely to offer a favorable assessment of a Democratic administration: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
, Gingrich offered his own party a blunt warning: “Republicans must learn to quit underestimating President Joe Biden.”, which allows for little concession or compromise. Gingrich engineered the impeachment of President Clinton; later, having left Congress amid ethical lapses, Gingrich assailed President Obama as a supposed “socialist” in disguise.
Yet he also believes that GOP attacks on the president have been ineffective, citing Democrats’ surprisingly good showing in last month’s elections as evidence.“The Biden team had one of the best first term off-year elections in history,” he wrote, an assertion bolstered by recent trends in electoral politics. “They were not repudiated. They did not have to pay for their terrible mismanagement of the economy.
“We dislike Biden so much, we pettily focus on his speaking difficulties, sometimes strange behavior, clear lapses of memory, and other personal flaws. Our aversion to him and his policies makes us underestimate him and the Democrats,” Gingrich wrote.He even compares the current president to Republican predecessors Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, both of whom at times benefited from similarly low estimations., “He was the great tortoise upon whose back the world sat for eight years.
Much like Biden, Reagan was eternally hounded by questions about his age and mental competence. In a 1983 column for the New York Times, former Nixon speechwriter William Safire urged Reagan to retire.
