Newt Gingrich: Speculation Increases on Biden Leaving Ticket


By Jim Meyers

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells Newsmax there is “increasing speculation” that Vice President Joe Biden could be dropped from the ticket — and he cites Hillary Clinton as his possible replacement.

A new Quinnipiac poll shows that Biden is hurting President Obama’s re-election chances in several swing states.

In an exclusive interview, Gingrich — who suspended his bid for the GOP presidential nomination on May 2 — was asked if Biden could be Republicans’ best weapon against Obama.

He could be, although I think the economy is our best argument,” Gingrich responds. “But certainly Biden seems to be weakening and failing and there is increasing speculation that he could be replaced on the ticket. How likely that is and whether or not Hillary Clinton would accept it, I can’t tell.

“But you do get a sense that Vice President Biden is hurting the ticket, not helping it.”
