Hurd drops out of 2024 GOP race, endorses Haley

Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd announced Monday that he was dropping out of the 2024 GOP primary and endorsing former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley instead.

“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, a former Texas congressman, said in a statement posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
