Former President Donald Trump is virtually untouchable in the Republican Party even after leaving office last month, said former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

“What’s very striking is that President Trump still has such enormous reach in the party that nobody can fight him,” Gingrich said on WABC 770 AM in New York on Sunday. “You can complain about him. You can criticize him. But McConnell can’t possibly fight Trump. He doesn’t have a big enough base,” he said, referring to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
