Texas Rep. Will Hurd has announced that he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential primary and endorsing Nikki Haley. In a statement, Hurd said he believes the party needs to come together to find an alternative to front-runner Donald Trump.
“While I appreciate all the time and energy our supporters have given, 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 said.
Hurd also warned that if the Republican party nominates Trump or any of the other candidates who are “jockeying to imitate his divisive, crass behavior,” the party will lose.
Hurd, who served three terms in the House of Representatives, has been a vocal critic of Trump and has failed to qualify for any of the primary debates. He has thrown his support behind Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador.
Hurd’s decision to suspend his campaign comes as the Republican party is facing a critical decision on who to nominate as their presidential candidate. With the election just months away, the party must decide whether to rally around an alternative to Trump or risk losing the election.
