Gingrich says Trump would be 'better off' if government shuts down

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) suggested President-elect Trump would be "better off" letting the government shut down.

"I think that President Trump would be much better off to let the government close to let Biden sit there as a totally incompetent president presiding over a mess, and to go to the country and say to the country, 'I am not going to be a president who sells you out. I need your help to convince the Congress to pass a good bill,'" Gingrich told Fox News's Harris Faulkner on Friday.
