Rand Paul announced Monday that he plans to vote for the Senate version of the tax cut legislation, providing a boost to GOP leaders hoping to advance the bill through the upper chamber this week.

“I plan to vote for this bill as it stands right now,” the Kentucky Republican wrote in an op-ed published on Fox News, explaining that the tax cut isn’t as big as he had hoped, but that the bill has improved as it has been written.
