Newt Gingrich: DeSantis ‘didn’t prove capable’ of winning over GOP and ‘failed to fill vacuum’
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) questioned Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) position in the 2024 Republican presidential race ahead of an expected campaign announcement this week.
One day after Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) announced his presidential bid in North Charleston, South Carolina, Gingrich said on Fox News that Scott and others are “partly a function of DeSantis having failed to fill the vacuum,” noting the large number of Republicans looking for a serious party alternative besides former President Donald Trump.
Gingrich called Trump’s high poll numbers, which have typically shown him leading widely over his opponents in the Republican primary, “astonishing.”
“DeSantis didn’t prove capable of reaching out to all the different elements of the party,” Gingrich said, adding his failure is a factor to why more people, like Scott, are entering the race.
“It’s terrific for the country to have Tim Scott, who is a deeply committed Christian, offering a vision of hope, of opportunity, of unifying us – I think he’s going to be one of the real stars of the next two years,” Gingrich said.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) released a campaign-style video on social media last week after making comments at an event in California hosted by the Milken Institute that he would not run for president “this year,” but aides have stated Youngkin has not entirely ruled out casting a bid.
“I think if Glenn Youngkin does a video thinking about the future of America as opposed to the future of Virginia – there’s more than a little bit of a hint there,” Gingrich said.
Gingrich said the “real challenge” for Youngkin will be to win control of both chambers, keeping the House red and flipping the currently blue Senate.
Gingrich said if Youngkin can manage that, “he’s got a pretty good argument to run for president next year.”

Liz Cheney Reveals Lengths She Would Go To Stop Trump In 2024
Former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she is contemplating a third-party presidential run, warning of the dangers that would come from former President Donald Trump serving as president next year for a second term.
Speaking to the Washington Post on Monday while promoting her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney said she would not have thought about a third-party run several years ago but feels the former president’s presidential bid threatens democracy.
“I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well,” Cheney said.
Cheney, once a rising star in the Republican Party before becoming one of Trump’s most outspoken GOP critics, said she would make a final decision within the next few months.
“We face threats that could be existential to the United States, and we need a candidate who is going to be able to deal with and address and confront all of those challenges,” Cheney said. “That will all be part of my calculation as we go into the early months of 2024.”
Cheney served as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee and was one of 10 House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She was ousted in the Wyoming primary last year by a Trump-backed challenger, now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY).
She has not ruled out voting for President Joe Biden if he is the 2024 Democratic nominee, telling CBS on Sunday that a Republican congressional majority with Trump in the White House would pose a threat to democracy.
Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been on a string of media appearances, further fueling speculation about a presidential bid.
“I don’t even want to imagine a situation where he has won,” Cheney said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. “I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion.”
Cheney emphasized Republicans, Democrats, and independents need to “work together” and “vote together” to “make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative.”
“He is not the lesser of two evils,” Cheney said. “He is a completely unfit man for office. He’s already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again.”

Professor fired for criticizing homosexuality responds to Christian College
A college professor has filed a lawsuit against a Christian college after being fired over social media posts he made criticizing homosexuality.
Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired in March following statements he made online, ending his employment at Cliff College, located in England, that lasted for seven years. Edwards revealed Tuesday that he has enlisted the help of Christian Legal Centre to support his case against the school, according to Fox News Digital.
“I think many Christians have not been willing to say things that will offend people,” he said. “The British people especially find it hard to offend people in ways that other cultures don’t because they’re more willing to say, ‘This is what I believe, and you need to kind of get over it. And I’m free to say that.’ I think in Britain for many years, we’ve tolerated a kind of self-silencing.”
Edwards had claimed on Feb. 19 that homosexuality was “invading the Church” and that many Christians no longer saw “the severity” that such an invasion posed. The statement caused major pushback among LGBT activists, and Cliff College issued a statement calling Edwards’s post “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”
The professor refused to delete his post, which ultimately led to his firing.
Edwards believes that more Christians will have to face similar situations that he underwent this year, warning that progressive ideology is “invading” both the church and society itself. However, he also said he is encouraged by others who have pushed back against progressive ideology within the church and hopes that the lawsuit against Cliff College will help raise awareness about free speech being at risk in the United Kingdom.
