Rand Paul Is Suspending His Presidential Campaign

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is suspending his presidential campaign, Politico and CNN reported Wednesday.

"It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of Liberty," the senator said in a statement on Wednesday, following his fifth place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

Paul, who has served in the Senate since 2011, launched his presidential bid in April. The self-described "libertarian-ish" candidate poised himself as an alternative to establishment candidates, touting his grassroots appeal.

However, Paul failed to break ahead of the crowded GOP field, landing behind business mogul Donald Trump, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and others in most polls. His numbers further plummeted in the fall.

fukk, I was making this thread at the same damn time.

Rand Paul dropping out of White House race

Rand Paul will drop out of the race for president, three sources close to the campaign told POLITICO.

Paul, a freshman Kentucky senator and the son of former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, has a large libertarian following but failed to gain traction in the presidential race. He now faces a race for reelection to the Senate.


Paul had become an increasingly marginal figure in the still-sprawling GOP field. He finished fifth in Iowa, with less than 5 percent of the vote, but is projected to do much worse in next week’s New Hampshire primary, with recent polls showing him in ninth place.

The Kentucky senator was facing a dismal money situation, and ended the fourth quarter with $1.3 million in the bank for his presidential campaign. He raised roughly $2.1 million in the quarter, while spending $2.9 million. His super PACs ended the year with a little more than $4 million in cash on hand.

Paul suffered a big blow last month when he was relegated to the undercard of the sixth GOP debate. He boycotted the event, saying he was running a “first-tier” campaign. While he made it back on the main stage for last week’s debate, he failed to make much of an impact.

Firiona should be dropping out soon too

Hopefully sometime this week. I can't stand this job-killing bytch and will be glad when she disappears from my TV.

Rand will be back for the next one. He's keeping up the family tradition of working a highly-paying government job and running for president every 4 years while trying decry the institution itself as an unnecessary evil. He's not quitting, he's just hibernating.
