Newt Gingrich: McCarthy, Dems Could Join Forces For Speaker Seat

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still has the power of her office but it is declining and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., "certainly wields an enormous amount of power," but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy could join forces with moderate Democrats to take over the speaker's seat, former Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday.

"I think, depending on the result of these last few seats, that Republican leader McCarthy may actually have an ability to form an alliance with 10 or 12 Democrats who are in districts where they will get wiped out in 2022 unless they find some way to separate," said Gingrich on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "If that happens, McCarthy actually will have more maneuvering ability on the floor than will Speaker Pelosi."
