Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd suspends 2024 presidential bid, endorses Nikki Haley

Former Texas congressman Will Hurd has suspended his presidential bid and endorsed fellow GOP candidate Nikki Haley, citing the need to consolidate the party to defeat both Donald Trump and President Biden. Hurd, a strong Trump critic, failed to gain traction as a pragmatic moderate and did not qualify for the first two GOP debates. Hurd's endorsement follows Miami Mayor Francis Suarez suspending his campaign. Hurd, the only Black Republican in his final two years in office, served three terms in the House and represented a heavily Hispanic district along the Texas-Mexico border.
