RFK Jr. backs Rand Paul as next Senate Republican leader
MSN/The Hill ^ | March 1 | Story by Tara Suter

Posted on 03/03/2024 12:55:19 PM PST by RandFan

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his support for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) as the next Senate Republican leader.

“Mitch McConnell, who has served in the Senate for almost 40 years, announced he’ll step down this November. Part of public service is about knowing when to usher in a new generation,” Kennedy said Wednesday in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, highlighted by Mediaite.

“It’s time to promote leaders in Washington, DC who won’t kowtow to the military contractors or push us deeper into foreign conflicts,” Kennedy continued. “We need representation who will prioritize American wellness over all else. I believe @RandPaul would be an incredible successor. He’s shown great judgment and has the grit to put hardworking Americans first.”

I wouldn’t have expected that.
Perhaps he knows Rand is going to have a hard time getting the votes.

RFK is an old type Dem, where the Nation, our Nation matters. Interestingly, the LA County former Sheriff (Alex Villanueva) , a Dem who is running for county supervisor endorsed RFK, NOT Brandon. He is the possible one to defeat Hahn, and is talking about the right stuff. I am voting for him

Typical "professional" advocacy tactic.

Forward a position that has no chance of being successful to reestablish your bona fides.

I hope so... But I can’t see the MIC allowing it to happen. And yes... It is up to the MIC who gets this position.

Why would any GOP person give two hoots what RFK thinks about their leadership?

We are living in Bizzaro world where “republicans” cheer a nut job socialist’s opinion.

He hasn’t stepped up. Approaching 60. He should go for the VP slot. Higher profile for ‘28. If Argentina and El Salvador have gone in that direction we need to fast track him and his ideas.

Maggie Thatcher was a year before Reagan. Lech Walesa came a year after.

Love him or loathe him, RFK Jr is sincere in his opposition to Fauci... and he likely recognizes that Rand Paul, to his credit, has been Fauci’s strongest critic in the Senate.

I’d much rather it be Rand than that awful Cornyn.
