South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says though former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has been a great problem solver in the past, he needs

to come up with new ideas, according to
Politico.
“I think that the people of South Carolina and across this country are really going to push these candidates in a way that we’ve never pushed them before,” she said on ABC News’ “This Week with Christiane Amanpour.”
“And I think that Newt Gingrich has dealt with a lot of issues in the past, and I think now he’s going to have to show that he's got those ideas to deal with the future,” she said.
