[quote=Anonymous]Will Hurd is in - he seems like a very normal, very unalarming person. He of course has no shot in today's GOP.

[quote]Will Hurd, a former Texas congressman who was part of a diminishing bloc of Republican moderates in the House and was the only Black member of his caucus when he left office in 2021, announced his candidacy for president on Thursday with a video message that attacked the G.O.P. front-runner, Donald J. Trump.

“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,” he said, referring to Republican losses in the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections, in addition to Mr. Trump’s own defeat in 2020.

Mr. Hurd, 45, represented the 23rd District for three terms before deciding not to run for re-election in 2020, when a host of G.O.P. moderates in Congress chose to retire instead of appearing on a ticket led by President Trump.[/quote]

Gotta say, though - it is doing my heart some good to see some more anti-Trump GOPers getting in there. Seems hopeless this year - even if they take down Trump, then we're dealing with DeSantis, who isn't really much better - but perhaps one day it'll be a bunch of boring pro-business types who I can disagree with about a lot of stuff without thinking that they actually want to shred our democracy.[/quote]
