Gingrich says Biden’s ‘old order gave us the last stand’ in spending bill fight
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich celebrated the “last stand” from the Biden administration establishment in the fight to pass the stopgap spending bill.
Congress recently passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through March 14. At the time of the vote late Friday, the government was hours away from a shutdown. According to Gingrich, Speaker Mike Johnson and President-elect Donald Trump were both the winners of the battle, while President Joe Biden “was totally missing in action.”
“I think the bill we saw initially, the 1500-page bill, was the last stand of the Biden old order establishment,” Gingrich said. “How can you blame a guy if he takes 1,500 pages, shrinks it to 136, works very closely with President Trump? What’s the beef?”

Gingrich was referring to The House attempting to pass a larger bill on Thursday, which failed. Its second attempt did not include a debt limit provision, which was opposed by President-elect Donald Trump and volunteer head of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk.
“But I think what Johnson went through was exactly the Constitutional process. The old order gave us the last stand; the new order broke it down,” Gingrich said. “This is an example of Trump really being the de facto president.”
Still, 34 Republican representatives and 11 senators voted against the legislation. All Democratic lawmakers voted for the measure.
During the next session, Republican members in the House will have an even slimmer margin of two votes. In the Senate, the Republican Party has a three-vote majority. As a result, Gingrich called on Republicans to take an oath to agree to the next stopgap bill.
