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.”

Rand is the perpetual “voice crying in the wilderness “, unfortunately. Too many hogs feeding at the trough for anyone responsible to be elevated to leader.

Trump should think about picking RFK Jr for VP. A lot of independents will love that ticket. Sort of “unity” ticket. A big F U to the Deep State.

I’m proud that Rand Paul is one of my Senators because I think he’s the best Senator of the lot. The other one, not so much.

Bad choice. Career wise Paul has voted in support of Trump issues on the average only 68.9% of the time. That number indicates less than a three quarter approval of Trump’s stances. With the senate being so generally close, it would be wiser to find someone almost totally in line with Trump’s platform. That’s why he is being voted for. And his decisions are the final say and the voice of the people when they voted him in.

Rand needs to stay in the Senate. The level of common sense would drop dramatically if he were to leave.

He’s positioning to run on the Libertarian line to get on the ballot in all the states, I imagine.

Paul has been attacked in multiple ways—and has played an unfortunate controlled oppo, limited hangout role with the Covid crimes.
