Newt Gingrich summarized his support for the National Popular Vote bill by saying: “No one should become president of the United States without speaking to the needs and hopes of Americans in all 50 states.  … America would be better served with a presidential election process that treated citizens across the country equally.  The National Popular Vote bill accomplishes this in a manner consistent with the Constitution and with our fundamental democratic principles.”  

Saul Anuzis, former Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party for five years and a former candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, supports the National Popular Vote plan as the fairest way to make sure every vote matters, and also as a way to help Conservative Republican candidates. This is not a partisan issue and the National Popular Vote  plan would not help either party over the other.
