BREAKING: Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd announced on CBS Mornings that he’s running for president, joining 11 other GOP primary candidates in the 2024 race for the White House.
A self-described"dark horse" candidate, Hurd now enters a crowded field with 11Hurd said his decision to enter the race was something he and his wife decided to do after realizing"we live in complicated times."
Hurd, highlighting the potential of the Republican Party to lead discussions on the nation's future, underscored the importance of presenting a vision that encompasses unprecedented peace, a thriving economy, and an accessible world-class education system. "You can't be afraid of Donald Trump. Too many candidates in this race are afraid of Donald Trump, but we also have to articulate a different vision," Hurd said. Drawing from his personal experience of winning in a predominantly Latino district as a black Republican, he said it is necessary to engage diverse communities and addressing their specific concerns.
As a former CIA officer, Hurd said that Trump's indictment consisting of 37 felony charges related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House is"frustrating," and that"nobody's above the law, and you are innocent until proven guilty."
