Senator Rand Paul announced Friday morning that he has an opinion about the upcoming election. He did NOT endorse a candidate. Instead, he declared that one candidate in particular must never be president.
He even launched a website, NeverNikki.net.
According to the site:
I have been watching the GOP Primary closely for a while now, and I like various aspects of several candidates – Republicans like President Trump, Governor DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
I’m interested in the ideas of some independents too, such as Bobby Kennedy.
As I look over the field, I don’t think I yet have a first choice, but I do know one thing: count me in as Never Nikki.
His thread on Twitter broke down the details of his decision.
I’m interested in the ideas of some independents too, such as @RobertKennedyJr.

While most others were decrying the mistakes of the past 20 years, and fighting for an America First foreign policy, @NikkiHaley was aligning herself with and declaring her foreign policy allies to be John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

Beyond the issues of endless wars, @NikkiHaley’s lack of respect for freedom of speech is shocking to anyone who believes in the constitution.

Anyone who doesn’t fully believe in free speech or who wants endless wars has no business anywhere near the White House. Go to https://t.co/rwxbUMKKBh to show you agree!
