Previous representative Will HurdWilliam Ballard Hurd, former Rep. Will Hurd, announces the book deal that the house is ready to overturn Trump’s veto for the first time. (R-Texas) said Sunday that the Republican Party should have little or nothing to do with the former President TrumpDonald Trump Governors in hot water for his response to the DOJ coronavirus investigating whether Alex Jones and Roger Stone played a role in the Jan. 6 riots: Did WaPo Biden support “human rights with Chinese characteristics”? MONTH after the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Speaking to NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Hurd argued that the Republican Party had lost both houses of Congress and the White House over the past four years as a direct result of the former president.

“I think very little, if any,” Hurd said when asked what role Trump should play in the future of the Republican Party. “This is a president who lost the House, the Senate and the White House in four years. I think the last person to do that was Herbert Hoover, and it was during the Great Depression.”

“We should talk to disgruntled Democrats” who do not support ideas such as reducing law enforcement funding or expanding immigration, added Hurd, who noted the failure of House Democrats to get any Republican seats during the November elections.

The former congressman said his party was likely to gain control of the House next year, given the traditional performance of the party that controlled the White House during the midterm elections, but argued that that prospect would be impossible if The Republican Party still focused on arguments over whether Trump won the 2020 election.

“We have a chance, but we can’t do it if we talk about the lies of an election that went wrong or that succumbed to conspiracy theories,” he added.

Hurd left Congress in January after announcing his retirement in 2019; was succeeded as deputy in the 23rd district of Texas by Rep. Tony Gonzales (R).

Earlier, the only black member of the House Republican Party meeting group, Hurd was headline last year when he joined protesters marching in protest of the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, in hands of Minneapolis police.
