A. President Bill Clinton Considered a “New Democrat” Still supported social programs, but also wanted to reform them. Wanted to fix the economy by balancing the budget. Impact: very different from Democrats before, who were known for raising taxes. This new approach made him very popular.

B. Contract with America 1994 – Republicans win control of Congress. Contract with America: Led by Newt Gingrich. Changes that were promised: Welfare reform Balanced budget/cut federal spending. Result: Passed welfare reform, but President Clinton vetoed most of their policies.

C. Clinton Scandal Impact: wasn’t removed from office by the Senate, but it damaged his popularity. All of the Senate trials were on TV, so everyone found out about the details of his personal life.
