Republican presidential candidate former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas ended his long-shot bid for the GOP nomination and endorsed Nikki Haley, a former ambassador and South Carolina governor
Republican presidential candidate former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas is ending his long-shot bid for the White House and endorsing one of his rivals for the GOP nomination. Hurd, a former CIA spy turned three-term congressman who in June launched an uphill bid for the 2024 Republican nomination announced on social media Monday that 'it has become clear to me and my team that the time has come to suspend our campaign.
Our nation deserves a leader who can unite us and navigate the complex challenges we face, particularly when it comes to our national security. I believe Ambassador Nikki Haley is the best person in this race to do that,' Hurd wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He grabbed national attention last year during a well-publicized book tour for 'American Reboot: An Idealist’s Guide to Getting Big Things Done.' In his book, Hurd urged his party to rethink its style of politics and offered ideas to reform America’s political system and keep the nation competitive against China and other powers.
As he launched his presidential campaign, Hurd took aim at Trump, telling Fox News Digital at the time that 'the GOP will continue to lose to Democrats if Donald Trump is the nominee.' And four months later, as he dropped out of the race, Hurd reiterated that 'if the Republican party nominates Donald Trump or the various personalities jockeying to imitate his divisive, crass behavior, we will lose.
