Former President Donald Trump ruthlessly mocked former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) after the presidential candidate dropped out of the race and endorsed Nikki Haley for president.

Trump is facing a slew of opponents for the Republican nomination – none of whom are remotely close to him in the polls. The former president has boycotted the first two primary debates and seems keen on continuing to shun such contests given his sizable lead.

One of those candidates is Haley, who served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations. While Trump previously praised the former South Carolina governor, her candidacy has irked the 45th president. Hurd endorsed her in a tweet in which he announced he is suspending his campaign.

“Ambassador Haley has shown a willingness to articulate a different vision for the country than Donald Trump and has an unmatched grasp on the complexities of our foreign policy,” he wrote. “I wholeheartedly endorse Ambassador Haley and look forward to supporting her for the remainder of this race.”

On his Truth Social platform, Trump mocked Hurd and took a dig at Haley, calling her “Birdbrain”:

It’s about time! Will Hurd, the failed former Congressman from the great State of Texas, who decided not to run for Congress again because he did an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE JOB (ZERO Personality!), and couldn’t win, has just now decided to drop out of the 2024 Presidential Campaign where he, likewise, drew “flies!” He is a nasty and jealous guy, who truly doesn’t have what it takes. Luckily for him, he couldn’t make the Debate Stage, but went out with a bang – He endorsed Birdbrain!
