“Senator Rand Paul endorsed former President Donald Trump in both of the latter’s presidential campaigns. It’s not clear if the Kentucky Republican will do so a third time—and a budding friendship could explain why,” the Washington Free Beacon reports.
“In recent months, Paul has cozied up to third-party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr… Kennedy has had several closed-door meetings in Paul’s Senate office, and is advised by Paul’s chief strategist and former chief of staff, Doug Stafford. Stafford also served as a senior adviser to Paul’s failed 2016 presidential campaign and executive director of Paul’s political action committee.”
