Former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has accused Democrats of having a “passion” for stealing elections, and advised Republicans to win by big margins.

During a Fox News show on Sunday, anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Gingrich whether Republicans were doing enough to ensure free and fair elections in 2024. “Well, I think it’s probably almost impossible under current law to ensure an accurate election,” Gingrich said. “And I think the only Republican strategy in the long run is to pick issues and win by margins so big that they can’t steal it. If you have a very close election, Democrats have a passion for stealing them.”
