Gingrich Now Reportedly to End Presidential Bid on Wednesday

Newt Gingrich will now end his campaign for president on Wednesday, according to CNN, despite initial reports the former House Speaker would suspend his bid on Tuesday.

A senior campaign staffer had said Gingrich would "more than likely" endorse Mitt Romney when he drops out. The two spoke by phone last week, a Gingrich spokesman told CNN.

Gingrich previously said he would remain in the presidential race until the GOP convention in August. Despite a surge in late 2011, he failed to capture any real momentum once primary season began.
