Former Texas congressman Will Hurd announced on Monday that he is dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination and is endorsing former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to be the party's White House standard bearer.
Hurd, who has barely registered in opinion polls of Republican voters since he announced his candidacy in June, is an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, the runaway frontrunner to become the nominee to take on Democratic President Joe Biden in November 2024.
"It is important to recognize the realities of the political landscape and the need to consolidate our party around one person to defeat both Donald Trump and President Biden," Hurd added.
