Newt Gingrich has been battling calls for him to drop out of the Republican presidential race, after losing both the Mississippi and Alabama primaries Tuesday. But the former House Speaker said today his campaign will continue up to the party’s convention in Tampa.
When asked by Charlie Rose under what circumstances he would end his campaign before the convention, Gingrich replied, “Probably none.”
