Former Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd hopes that some of the remaining Republican White House hopefuls soon take their cue to leave.
Hurd, a former CIA spy turned three-term congressman from Texas, who last month ended his own bid for the 2024 Republican nomination says other contestants need to follow his lead.
“It has become clear to me and my team that the time has come to suspend our campaign,” Hurd said as he dropped out of the race.
Hurd told Fox News Digital it’s time for the 2024 field to further narrow
“It’s hard to put aside your own personal ambitions and ego, but this is about the country, this is about making sure that we have another 247 years of a country, of a way of life that has become the envy of the world, and that’s what we need to focus on,” he said.
The former congressman endorsed Nikki Haley as he ended his campaign.
“Nikki Haley’s the only person who can beat Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and that’s where I hope some of these candidates can consolidate around. And tonight she showed her grasp of the issues,” Hurd emphasized. “We’re living in a dangerous world. It’s only going to get more dangerous, and Nikki Haley’s ready to lead on day one.”
Late last month, former Vice President Mike Pence became the first major Republican presidential contender to drop out of the 2024 GOP nomination race.
