Joe Biden campaigned for president in 2020 as a practical politician with a moderate record. He promised to unite America under a Biden presidency. He even said, "There will be no blue states and red states with me." 

More than 18 months into the Biden administration, America is witnessing a radical departure from the candidate who made those promises in 2020. 

From Day One, the Biden administration pursued policies that appealed to the far left and socialists rather than working-class Americans. As a result, Americans appear more divided than ever on key questions about our country's future and the policy decisions confronting us. 

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a bestselling author who is out with a new book, "Defeating Big Government Socialism: Saving America's Future," joins us on "The Daily Signal Podcast" today to tell us about his latest work and what's at stake. Listen to the interview or read a lightly edited transcript.
