Kentucky senator says he wants to represent 'free-market wing' of Republican Party as alternative to Trump-Vance populism
Libertarian-minded Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is leaving the door wide open to a possible 2028 White House run.
"We’ll decide after 2026," Paul said in an interview that posted this weekend.
Paul ran for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, but dropped out after a distant fifth-place finish in Iowa's Republican caucuses. He won re-election later that year in the Senate, and was re-elected again in 2022.
The senator, who for years has been a leading voice inside the GOP for fiscal conservatism, civil liberties and a non-interventionist foreign policy for America, has lamented the declining number of Republicans embracing such an agenda in a party dominated by President Donald Trump. And he's pledged to try and bring such an agenda back.
...
Pointing to Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who is perceived as the GOP frontrunner in the race to succeed the term-limited Trump, Paul emphasized that "there needs to be a free-market wing of the Republican Party. And I want to be part of trying to ensure that still exists."

One thing that’s becoming painfully obvious: this isn’t going to be any sort of cake-walk coronation for JDV...
Rand is running.
Cruz is running.
Vance is running.
Other possibilities... Desantis? Rubio? Don Jr?
It’s going to be a battle royale...
Like every losertarian moron, Rand is an open border imbecile and as a Kentucky voter I can hardly wait to vote his 🍑 out.
It will take MORE than a sniveling, equivocating harpy!
He must need a new house.
-PJ
This might be his last term ?
I dont know
Thank goodness for sensible people like you. Can’t stand Ran, AKA: ALSO RAN from MAGA...At my old age I’m hoping I can withstand another term or two that would solidify U.S. on the straight and narrow road. Peace be with all and stand tall. And BTW: Bring your friends.
LOL...you continue devolving into an even lower IQ leftist lacking a modicum of common sense...just like Rand Paul.
Or just some attention.
I’m just posting the news FRiend
I used to like the man, but I’ve grown tired of him. Also, he’s finishing up his third or fourth term in the Senate, time to go. Tired of people staying in the Senate until they’re taken out in cuffs or a coffin.
There is nothing interesting about Rand Paul or Massie, Pajama Boy.
And there it is, the reason Rand Paul has been basically anti-trump, he was carving out a niche for his presidential run, little if anything to do with values or ideals, it was about power.
BS!
Your continued focus on that Losertarian Leftist & pushing his anti-America agenda is clear as day.
We all see it.
Oh, heck NO!
Randcid won’t even break 3% in the primaries. The guy’s a skank.
Go for it, Rand. Find some donors with a few million dollars to flush on a noble experiment. It will be your Swan Song, the climax and crumbling of your political career
After that, you can do full-time lobbying for the Greens.
Funny cartoon with Mr. Raincoat!
The yard gnome isn’t going anywhere. No one will elect a 5’4” President
