Rand Paul Isn’t Endorsing Anyone

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who dropped out earlier this month, isn’t going to endorse anyone in the ongoing contest for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee. Paul is facing a reelection Senate campaign against Jim Gray, the former Democratic mayor of Lexington.

When asked whether he was going to endorse anyone, he simply said,”No.”

Some of Paul’s supporters in the House, including Justin Amash, have endorsed Ted Cruz, while others have refused to endorse anyone.

The Wall Street Journal writes:

Mr. Paul finished in fifth place in the Iowa caucuses after his brand of non-interventionist foreign policy lost currency, swept away by more immediate concerns about the threat of terror. His departure has left his backers without any obvious alternative, and several of his House supporters say they are unsure whom to get behind.

Paul did sign a pledge to endorse the eventual GOP nominee. Something he may wind up regretting.

Politico writes on the demise of Paul’s campaign:

A senior Paul aide said the campaign suffered from not only rise of ISIL, but also the rise of Trump. “Trump got in, Trump zoomed ahead, we collapsed, and he had a massive impact in caging our people from us,” the top aide said. “And that, combined with this foreign policy environment, when Rand was more flavor of the month a year ago, it was before they were beheading people in the Middle East and that just really altered the conversation, the dynamic on those issues.”

While candidates like Trump, Cruz and Marco Rubio — the top three finishers in Iowa — became better liked as the campaign wore on, Paul was the opposite.
