Will Hurd Withdraws from GOP Presidential Race, Backs Nikki Haley
Former congressman Will Hurd has ended his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination and has endorsed former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley as an alternative candidate to defeat former president Donald Trump. Hurd, a Trump critic, argued that the Republican Party is running out of time to defeat Trump and that Haley has the clearest path to victory, the character and credentials to lead, and the conservative record needed to beat Joe Biden. Hurd, who sometimes clashed with his Republican colleagues, failed to find a base of support as a presidential candidate.
