USA: Clinton And Gingrich

Record ID: 3753

  • Title: USA: Clinton And Gingrich
  • Date: 11th June 1995
  • Summary: United States President Bill Clinton and his chief ideological rival Newt Gingrich, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, appeared together at an unprecedented public forum on June 11. They took questions from the audience on topics as diverse as the future of social security, the role of the United Nations, political lobbying, raising the minimum wage and health care reform. Gingrich's remarks were peppered with compliments for Clinton, and he even ignored a few gentle jabs from the president. The meeting, the first such debate between a president and a House speaker, was a coup for Gingrich, who has spent the past few weeks teasing the media about whether he will join the eight Republicans officially running for their party's presidential nomination.
