Rand Paul is ‘persuadable’ to endorse Trump after debate

Published July 2, 2024 11:30am ET



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained that former President Donald Trump still has a number of requirements to meet to win his endorsement, which could still happen with the Republican National Convention coming up.

Paul is one of several Republicans who are withholding their full backing of Trump, even though he is the presumptive presidential nominee and the Republican National Convention will begin in under two weeks. The Kentucky senator explained that the former president needs to address the growing national debt, noting how about $8 trillion was added during Trump’s administration and another roughly $8 trillion is set to be added by the end of President Joe Biden’s administration.
