RFK Jr. backs Rand Paul as next Senate Republican leader
The Hill ^ | 2/29/24 | Tara Suter

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his support for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) as the next Senate Republican leader. “Mitch McConnell, who has served in the Senate for almost 40 years, announced he’ll step down this November. Part of public service is about knowing when to usher in a new generation,” Kennedy said Wednesday in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, highlighted by Mediate.

The obvious choice. If you don’t want another Uniparty (R) goon, about the only choice.

I agree with the Kennedy - which feels weird.

Rand Paul is the ONLY politician in DC who actually wants to drastically shrink the size and power of the federal government in our lives.

There might be a handful of others, but he's the only one being vocal about it. For that reason alone, I am warming up to RFK Jr.

I realize RFKj is no libertarian, but I hope they will give him their ballot access if, for no other reason, than to put states like Connecticut in play.

I like the choice. I also would consider Mike Lee or Ted Cruz, because they are constitutionalists. We MUST have a leader that believes in the US Constitution and will abide by it (every single member of Congress gave an oath to it, but a surprising number never read it, much less support it).

Rand Paul as Senate Leader would be fantastic

He’s learned to survive in the fetid swamp of DC, but remain a true small-government conservative, libertarian, 2nd amendment and Bill of Rights advocate.

Trump did *not* endorse Tester. Tester is the incumbent Democrat he wants to unseat.

“I am warming up to RFK Jr.”

RFK is a slimy ambulance-chasing global-warming opportunistic lawyer.

No way do I trust him.

Oh ya. RFK jr. The McConnell senate the democrat corrupt GOO senate will listen to RFK

Mcconnells replacemnt has been chosen and is now getting up to speed. He will be worse than McConnell as all replacements are worse- more leftist more anti Trump - have been for anyone either side of the aisle for the past 5 years.

Rand Paul would be an awesome choice. But he’s not Deep State. So he’s out.

As we all know, RFK Jr is a leftie. But he shares one important characteristic with Rand Paul. They are both very suspicious of the Deep State.

Is there a place for RFK Jr in a Trump administration? Perhaps. Maybe he could be used to overhaul (or dismantle) the corrupt FBI.

+1
RFK was pushing the green new deal before it had a name. He would inflict misery on everyone for a hoax.
