Will Hurd Enters the 2024 Presidential Race<\/h2>\n<p>Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd has thrown his hat into the ring for the 2024 presidential race, joining a crowded field that includes heavyweights like former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). However, there are doubts about Hurd&#8217;s potential impact on the race.<\/p>\n<p>Hurd has made it clear that he is running to challenge President Joe Biden, but he is also carrying his reputation as a Trump critic into his campaign. In his announcement video, he highlighted the threats to the American dream and raised questions about Trump&#8217;s electability.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If we nominate a lawless, selfish, failed politician like Donald Trump who lost the House, the Senate, and the White House, we all know Joe Biden will win again.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Republican field already includes at least 11 other candidates, reminiscent of the crowded 2016 primary. Republicans are concerned that a divided vote will once again hand the nomination to Trump. So, where does Hurd fit into this picture?<\/p>\n<p>Hurd is considered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">long-shot candidate<\/a> who will need to quickly raise funds and boost his polling numbers to even qualify for the first Republican National Committee debate in August. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/will-hurd-attacks-trump-from-the-back-of-the-presidential-pack\/\" title=\"Hurd criticizes Trump from behind in presidential race.\">debate rules require candidates<\/a> to have a minimum of 40,000 unique donors and at least 1% support in three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-great-politically-for-republicans-to-talk-arizona-election-audit\/\" title=\"Trump: 'Great Politically' for Republicans to Talk Arizona Election Audit\">national polls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While Hurd faces an uphill battle, he points to his impressive resume as a former CIA officer and a successful congressional career. He emphasizes his experience in fighting terrorism, lowering taxes, securing the border, and supporting the middle class.<\/p>\n<p>However, Hurd&#8217;s centrist stance may not resonate with primary voters who are increasingly focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-has-entered-the-republicans-pounce-stage-of-critical-race-theory\/\" title=\"The Media Has Entered the \u2018Republicans Pounce\u2019 Stage Of Critical Race Theory\">culture war issues<\/a>. Even former Vice President Mike Pence, a conservative Christian, has struggled to gain ground against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Hurd decided not to run for office amidst Trump&#8217;s controversies. During his time in Congress, he voted against repealing the Affordable Care Act, supported legal status for some immigrants, and opposed Trump&#8217;s border wall. Hurd represented the 23rd Congressional District along the Texas-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>Like other candidates, Hurd aims to make the next election a referendum on Biden and convince the party to move on from Trump. However, with Trump&#8217;s legal problems dominating the election cycle, it will be a challenge for Hurd to raise his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chuck-schumer-quietly-shutting-down-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-primary-challenge\/\" title=\"Chuck Schumer Quietly Shutting Down Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Primary Challenge\">national profile<\/a>, gain traction with Republican voters, and secure enough funding for a viable presidential campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Texas Rep.
