What did Newt Gingrich predict about elections in May 2022?
Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House ·
I think we'll pick up between 25 and 70 seats in the House. We'll probably pick up about four seats in the Senate.
House GOP +10, not 25-70; Senate -1
Gingrich said Republicans would gain 25 to 70 House seats and about four Senate seats. They gained 10 House seats and lost one Senate seat.
House Republicans went from 212 seats at the start of the 117th Congress to 222 in the 118th, and Senate Republicans dropped from 50 seats to 49 (U.S. House Office of the Historian; FEC, Federal Elections 2022).
