Will Hurd Joins 2024 Republican Race

A moderate, he has criticized Trump in the past

Former U.S. Representative Will Hurd, a moderate who was once the sole Black Republican in Congress, on Thursday joined the crowded race to beat Donald Trump for the party's 2024 presidential nomination.

Hurd, 45, announced his candidacy in a video and a Twitter post that stressed unity, the economy and equal opportunity for all Americans - and pulled no punches in taking on the former president.

"If we nominate a lawless, selfish, failed politician like Donald Trump - he lost the House, the Senate and the White House - we all know Joe Biden will win again," Hurd said.
