Rand Paul declares he is 'never Nikki,' weighs in on 2024 presidential race

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has released a video and launched a website on Friday declaring that he is "never Nikki" Haley in the 2024 presidential race.

The Kentucky Republican made the announcement in a clip posted on X, in which he said, "I’ve had a long relationship with Donald Trump and there is a lot to like there" and that "I am also a big fan of a lot of the fiscal conservatism of Ron DeSantis."

"I think Vivek Ramaswamy has been an important voice. Also, I've listened to and met with the independent Bobby Kennedy," he continued. "I’m not yet ready to make a decision, but I am ready to make a decision on someone who I cannot support, so I’m announcing this morning that I am never Nikki."

Paul then directed viewers toward the website NeverNikki.net, which outlines his criticisms of the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador. The website features a red line through the name Nikki and says it is "paid for by Rand Paul for US Senate."

"I don't think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley. I’ve seen her attitude towards our interventions overseas, I’ve seen her involvement in the military industrial complex," Paul said in the video. "But I’ve also seen her indicate that she thinks you should be registered to use the internet."

"I think she fails to understand our republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Madison, John Jay and others who posted routinely — for fear of the government — they posted routinely anonymously," Paul concluded. "And I think her failure to really understand that or to think that you should register through the government somehow for the internet is something that should disqualify her in the minds of all libertarian-leaning conservatives."

Good to have him fighting the dangerous media darling.

His kind words toward other candidates mean more of “anybody but Nikki” than “Never Niki.”

Ok, but this was his BIG announcement? Could have just said that yesterday.

I guess even the good ones have to get their press time in….

This is what happens when you post something the Derps don't want you posting:

You get made "Gone with the rest of those Trump supporting Anons".
(along with the media that had to be suppressed.)

(A rare case of when the internet ISN'T forever.)

“I don’t mind anonymous American people having free speech. What I don’t like is anonymous Russians and Chinese and Iranians having free speech.” oh yeah, that sounds like believing in freedom.

I’m surprised because I figured he was going to endorse President Trump and call for unity in the party.

I really like Rand. I don’t necessarily agree with all his stances, and his dad was a weirdo, but he stands out as a decent guy.

The fact that he’s been physically attacked twice now by insane leftists tells me that he’s the real deal.

This is actually more effective. He’d be dismissed as a Trumper if that was the case. “Never Niki” is unique.
