Former US Rep. Will Hurd of Texas launches 2024 presidential bid, joining a crowded field challenging Trump for the GOP nomination
“This morning, I filed to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States. This is a decision that my wife and I decided to do because we live in complicated times, and we need common sense,” Hurd said on CBS. Hurd has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump following the former president’s indictment and arrest on federal charges over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Chris Christie, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Hurd was a rare Republican critic of Trump during his time in Congress from 2015 to 2021. Representing a swing district in Texas that covered the largest stretch of the US-Mexico border of any congressional seat, Hurd opposed Trump’s border wall and argued it was less effective than other forms of border security.
