Former Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Will Hurd expressed his support for Nikki Haley in the ongoing race, emphasizing that it is not yet time for her to drop out. Hurd highlighted the importance of providing voters in the upcoming 21 states with a real choice, rather than a limited selection akin to a Soviet-era election.
He pointed out that Haley continues to receive donations from Americans across the country, with a significant fundraising boost following the South Carolina polls. Hurd criticized the current political landscape, citing issues such as open borders and exorbitant legal fees.
Regarding Donald Trump's recent controversial remarks comparing his legal troubles to discrimination faced by African Americans, Hurd dismissed the comments as 'absolutely ridiculous.' He expressed concern that such statements could be detrimental to Trump's electoral prospects, especially when used in campaign ads by opponents like Joe Biden.
Hurd also addressed the apparent loyalty to Trump within the Republican Party, attributing it to a desire for power over ideological consistency. He underscored the importance of having a candidate who is ideologically consistent, pointing to Haley's growing support as a testament to this demand.
Despite the challenges and controversies within the party, Hurd advocated for Haley to remain in the race, emphasizing the need for a candidate who resonates with a significant portion of voters seeking an alternative to the current political landscape.
