Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been relatively quiet regarding the GOP presidential primary race, but that is expected to change very soon because he has “seen enough.”
On Thursday, Paul took to X, formerly called Twitter, to announce that he “will have something important to say” come Friday morning.
“I’ve stayed out of the Republican Presidential Primary so far — but I’ve seen enough,” the senator said in a video announcement. “That’s why tomorrow morning I will have something important to say. Don’t miss it!”
Comments on the post ranged from calling on the senator to endorse a specific GOP candidate to positing that Paul will enter the GOP presidential race himself.
“Rand you have been one of the best politicians this country has ever produced,” one X user wrote. “You would make a fantastic President.”
Others suggested he might join former President Donald Trump’s 2024 ticket as vice president.
“Trump would be wise to choose you as his VP,” a comment noted.
Another recalled that Trump mentioned he had a pick for vice president in mind during his Wednesday night town hall on Fox News: “Trump stated yesterday that he has selected his VP. Rand has a lot of integrity and would be great for the job.”
“Please be the VP! America is looking for a right libertarian populist ticket at their core,” an X user also wrote.
Still others suggested Paul would put his support behind Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, both of whom trail Trump in the polls by at least 47 points, according to FiveThirtyEight polling.

If Paul did choose to endorse Trump, it would follow fellow senator and Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso’s (R-WY) Tuesday endorsement of the former president.
Paul is the junior senator of his state behind Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has not endorsed Trump and has largely avoided a relationship with him since the Jan. 6 riot.
