Standing with Rand already.
Via Daily Caller:
Newly reelected soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is loyal to his supporters, and one supporter in particular – Kentucky’s junior Senator Rand Paul. Sen. Paul campaigned tirelessly for McConnell, helping him win conservative support and crush Alison Lundergan Grimes, his Democratic challenger. That didn’t go unnoticed or appreciated by McConnell.
Paul has been a high profile freshman senator and has developed a loyal national following. He has also developed an interest in seeking the presidency.
Whether Paul makes a run for the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue or not is a decision he hasn’t made, or at least hasn’t made public yet. But if he decides to give it a go, Rand Paul can count on the support of Kentucky’s senior senator.
In a post-election interview, McConnell said he backs Rand, whatever he does.
