by Jared Gans - 06/22/23 8:18 AM ET
Former Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) on Thursday became the latest Republican to throw their hat in the ring for the 2024 GOP race for president.
Hurd made the announcement during an appearance on “CBS Mornings,” joining what has become a crowded field of GOP candidates including former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Hurd said during the appearance that he has formally filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for the Republican nomination.
“This is a decision that my wife and I decided to do because we live in complicated times and we need common sense,” he added. “There are a number of generational-defining challenges that we’re faced with in the United States of America.”
Hurd spent six years in the House as a more moderate member of the Republican Conference and has often been a critic of Trump.
