The Republican Revolution
For the first time in 40 years, the Republican Party wins control
of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate in
midterm congressional elections. Led by Representative Newt
Gingrich of Georgia, who subsequently replaced Democrat Tom Foley
of Washington as speaker of the House, the empowered GOP united
under the "Contract with America," a 10-point legislative plan to
reduce federal taxes, balance the budget, and dismantle social
welfare programs established during six decades of mostly
Democratic rule in Congress.
Gingrich's House of Representatives, home to the majority of the
Republican freshmen, led the "Republican Revolution" by passing
every bill incorporated in the Contract with America-with the
exception of a term-limits constitutional amendment-within the
first 100 days of the 104th Congress.
