Hurd failed to qualify for both the first GOP debate in Milwaukee in August and the second debate the following month in Simi Valley, California.
“America is at a crossroads and it’s time to come together and make Joe Biden a one-term president,” Haley wrote on X in response to Hurd's endorsement.
Hurd was hoping to resonate with voters seeking a pro-business Republican with a strong national security background who was also unafraid to seek bipartisan consensus.
“President Biden can’t solve these problems — or won’t,” Hurd said in his announcement video.
“Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison,” Hurd declared at a July GOP dinner in Iowa.
