Hurd struggled to gain momentum from the start. The former Texas congressman garnered some attention with his consistent criticism of former President Donald Trump, but he failed to qualify for both GOP debates so far. Now, he’s calling on the rest of the Republican field to follow his lead so that the party’s voters can consolidate behind a Trump alternative.
“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 Joe Biden, Hurd said in his statement.
