Rand Paul Drops Out Of Presidential Race

Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a libertarian who often opposed American military intervention in overseas conflicts, dropped his bid Wednesday for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, as did another low-polling candidate, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.

Senator Rand Paul announced Wednesday that he is ending his run for the White House. “Although, today I will suspend my campaign for President, the fight is far from over”, expressed Paul in his statement.

The first-term Kentucky senator’s Iowa finish, with 4 percent of the vote, was a poor showing compared with the third-place finish of his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, there four years ago. The party now stands to pay for the considerable cost of conducting its own caucuses without the involvement of Paul’s presidential campaign.

In January, Lexington, Ky., Mayor Jim Gray filed to run for Paul’s seat. Marco Rubio, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, in that order.

Paul, 53, is running for re-election in November to a second Senate term. He trailed Texas Sen.

“It’s been an honor to participate in the 2016 Republican presidential primary”. Paul will return to Kentucky and continue his work in the chamber while prepping for his Senate reelection campaign.

“I’m doing this to be the president of the United States and we’re going to go all the way to Cleveland” and the Republican nominating convention, she said on a phone call with donors. Paul was doomed by guessing wrong and courting the Republican establishment in a year when the Republican love of outsiders with zero experience was taken to a new level.

Interestingly, the news that Paul is removing himself from the race for the White House seems at odds with the final speech depicted in the video post. Olso affirmed Paul has been the most important voice those people have in the country.
