Former Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd, a 45-year-old former CIA agent who served six years in the House, suspended his 2024 presidential campaign on Monday and shared his endorsement for former U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
"Unfortunately, it has become clear to me and my team that the time has come to suspend our campaign. 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 in a social media post.
— Will Hurd October 9, 2023 The former CIA operative added,"I urge donors, voters, and other candidates to unite around an alternative candidate to Trump. Otherwise, we will repeat the same errors as in 2016. If the Republican Party nominates Donald Trump or the various personalities jockeying to imitate his divisive, crass behavior, we will lose."
Hurd said he entered the presidential race to preserve America with the hope of giving people better candidate options than"the rematch from hell between Donald Trump and Joe Biden." He also noted that he had hoped to draw attention to the growing threats of artificial intelligence, our"new Cold War" with China, and the border crisis.
"I believe Ambassador Nikki Haley is the best person in this race to do that. Ambassador Haley has shown a willingness to articulate a different vision for the country than Donald Trump and has an unmatched grasp on the complexities of our foreign policy. I wholeheartedly endorse Ambassador Haley and look forward to supporting her for the remainder of this race," Hurd said.
