Newt Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign committee is millions in debt.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is a self-styled fiscal conservative who calls for a balanced federal budget. He's also actively helping Republicans win back the US House in 2022. He's fundraising for former President Donald Trump's political network.

But Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign committee, almost a decade past its expiration date, is still swimming in a sea of red.

The "Newt 2012" campaign committee remains technically active and more than $4.63 million in debt, according to financial filing submitted Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission. No presidential campaign from any election cycle owes creditors more money.

The campaign had $240.78 in the bank as of June 30, the filing indicates.

He claims to be a fiscal hawk. He's a grifter just like Trump.
