Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich proposed President Trump’s re-election in 2020 will be determined solely by the state of the economy, not his approval numbers.
“If Trump has the economy rolling in 2020, he’ll get re-elected,” Gingrich said during a panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week.” “If Trump doesn’t have the economy rolling in 2020, he has a problem.”
The Republican pundit and author said Trump’s persistent low approval ratings will not matter if he can stimulate the post-recession economy. Gingrich said Trump is the “most divisive president since Abraham Lincoln,” but his being “willful and strong-willed and focused have enormous capability to move the system.”
Trump has promised to put “America first” through executive orders and laws he signs.
