Hurd spoke to NBC’s “Meet the Press” and argued that the Republican Party has 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 not at all,” Hurd said when asked what role Trump should play in the future of the GOP. ‘This is a president who has lost the House, the Senate and the White House in four years. I think the last person to do that was Herbert Hoover, and that was during the Great Depression. ‘

“We need to talk to disgruntled Democrats” who do not support ideas such as reducing funding for law enforcement or expanding immigration, Hurd added, pointing out that the House Democrats could not win any seats with Republicans during the November election. .

The former congressman further said that it is likely that his party will gain control of the House next year, given the traditional performance of the party in charge of the White House during the midterm elections, but argued that such a prospect would be impossible. as the GOP was still focused on arguments over whether Trump won the 2020 election.

“We have an opportunity, but we can not do it when we talk about the lies of an election that went wrong or succumbed to conspiracy theories,” he added.

Hurd left Congress in January after announcing his retirement in 2019; he was succeeded as congressman for Texas’ 23rd district by Representative Tony Gonzales (R).

Formerly the only black member of the House GOP caucus, Hurd made headlines last year when he joined protesters marching in protest against the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, under Minneapolis police.
