Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Sen. Rand Paul for reelection.
“Rand Paul has done a fantastic job for our Country, and for the incredible people of Kentucky,” Trump said in a statement endorsing the Kentucky Republican. “He fights against the Swamp in Washington, the Radical Left Liberals, and especially the destructive RINOS, of which there are far too many, in Congress. Rand will continue to stand up for our great AMERICA FIRST policies because he believes in stopping wasteful spending, defending our Second Amendment rights, and taking care of our Military and our Vets.”
Trump added that he is “proud to be working with Rand in our battle to Make America Great Again,” and “He has my Complete and Total Endorsement for another term in the U.S. Senate.”
“The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a true champion in Rand Paul,” the statement said.

Paul, who has become a close ally of Trump, was elected to the Senate in 2010 as part of the Tea Party movement within the Republican Party and revealed earlier this year that he intends to run for reelection in November of next year.
Former Kentucky Rep. Charles Booker, who recently lost a Democratic Senate primary to challenge Sen. Mitch McConnell, said last month that he is “strongly considering” running against Paul.
