Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that he planned to stay in the race for the Republican presidential nomination despite laying off his campaign manager and a third of his campaign staff in a dramatic staff shake-up announced Tuesday.

"We’re staying in,” Gingrich told WTOP. “That’s exactly why we’re downsizing and doing what we need to to be able to stay in. I think you have to respond to reality and we’ve had, you know, the cash flow was shorter than we’d like it to be. So we’re doing the appropriate things to be able to campaign.”
