Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd Drops 2024 Presidential Bid, Endorses Nikki Haley

Former Texas congressman Will Hurd has suspended his GOP presidential bid and endorsed fellow candidate Nikki Haley, citing the need to consolidate the party to defeat both Donald Trump and President Biden. Hurd, who failed to gain traction as a pragmatic moderate, criticized Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. Hurd's departure follows Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who also suspended 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.
