Former congressman Will Hurd said on Monday he was ending his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination, and urged the other GOP hopefuls to unite behind former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley to defeat former president Donald Trump, the party’s clear front-runner.
Keeping up with politics is easy with The 5-Minute Fix Newsletter, in your inbox weekdays. In a statement posted Monday evening on social media, Hurd said “the time has come to suspend” his campaign.
“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,” said Hurd, a Trump critic. “If the Republican party nominates Donald Trump or the various personalities jockeying to imitate his divisive, crass behavior, we will lose.”
Hurd, who retired from the House in 2020 after three terms representing Texas, went on to say people should rally behind a candidate who “can unite us and navigate the complex challenges we face, particularly when it comes to our national security. I believe Ambassador Nikki Haley is the best person in this race to do that.”

Who?
Who is this guy? Never Hurd of him.
Hurd went from dumb to dumber.
Boy, there’s a world shaking development.
What a weak puss. See why he is “former”
This will really shake things up. /Sarcasm
Well, that swells her support from 8% to maybe 9%.
What's really sad is that Haley is probably asking the same thing.
It’s Trump or no one. None of the other candidates are worthy of my vote.
Well, shoot!
That crazy Uniparty warmonger Haley wants to bomb Iran now.
The best military advice comes from women that never served.
She’ll probably lose votes.
There -- I fixed it for you. :-)
Thank you.
Who cares? The GOPe candidates have nothing to new to offer, just more losing is all they have.
So when everything is going to hell for the US, does anyone really want to take a chance on Bush 3.0?
One loser endorsing another loser. Ho hum.
Do we have anyone on Free Republic who openly says they would support Haley?
I know of more people who support RFK Jr. here, as odd as that is.
