Will Hurd claims Donald Trump is running for president again to avoid going to jail.
Republican Candidate Will Hurd Slams Trump Following Indictment
Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd wasted no time in criticizing former President Donald Trump after the Department of Justice indicted him for a third case related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“Let me be crystal clear: Trump’s presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he’s unfit for office,” Hurd said.
Trump Faces Four New Charges
The former president now faces four new charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Hurd didn’t hold back in his criticism of Trump’s refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 campaign to President Joe Biden. Despite three years passing since the election, Trump has never conceded. “The 2020 election wasn’t stolen, rigged, or fraudulent. It was lost by Donald Trump because he was incapable of uniting the country. Now, we’ve got to ask ourselves if we really want a president who’s willing to violate his oath to the Constitution just to cling to power?” Hurd added.
As a long-shot 2024 candidate, Hurd has been vocal about the need for the GOP to move beyond Trump, a sentiment he reiterated on Tuesday. ”The Trump of 2016 is a far cry from the desperate figure we see in 2024. It’s about time our party, including the 2024 candidates, wake up to the fact that this guy only cares about himself, not our country’s future,” Hurd continued.

Hurd concluded with a final warning: “If we make the upcoming election about Trump, we are giving Joe Biden another four years in the White House. Instead, let’s focus on finding a leader who can genuinely guide our nation toward a brighter future,” he said.
Trump has been summoned to appear in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 3. His campaign released a statement maintaining his innocence, accusing the Biden Crime Family and the Department of Justice of attempting to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.
