Sen. Rand Paul is giving supporters a sneak peak into what kind of presidential candidate he will be.
A video released by the Kentuckian on Sunday night brands him as as a “different kind of Republican leader” ahead of a scheduled rally Tuesday in Louisville, Ky., in which he is expected to officially announce his 2016 White House bid.
“It’s time for a new way, a new set of ideas, a new leader — one you can trust, one who works for you,” Paul says in the video. “Above all, it’s time for a new president.”
The video splices footage together from his 2015 Conservative Political Action Committee speech, as well as clips of praise from political journalists and talking heads such as CNN’s Candy Crowley and MSNBC’s Michael Steele.
“On April 7, one leader will stand up to defeat the Washington machine and unleash the American Dream. Join the movement,” text reads at the end of the video.
According to a RealClearPolitics average of polls, Paul is tied for third with four other potential Republican candidates. With roughly nine points, he is within striking distance of the leader, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has roughly 17 points.
