Newt Gingrich said Sunday that his campaign is "operating on a shoestring," as he acknowledged Mitt Romney will more than likely emerge the Republican nominee for president yet suggested he'd stay in as long as possible in order to influence the party platform.
The former House speaker told "Fox News Sunday" that his presidential campaign is using "a little bit" of his own personal funds to stay afloat.
"No, we're not going to go broke," he said, but acknowledged the campaign is in debt.
Still, he said supporters are urging him to stay in.
"I do think there's a desire for a more idea-oriented Republican Party," Gingrich said.
Gingrich said that if Romney wins 1,144 delegates and clinches the nomination, he will do "everything I can" to support him going into November.
"We are absolutely committed to defeating Barack Obama," he said. "I will work as hard for (Romney) as I would for myself."
