Rand Paul Considering Running for President in 2028
Sen. Rand Paul sees a 50-50 chance of running in 2028, promoting fiscal conservatism and limited government as an alternative to GOP populism, analysts say.
- Kentucky Senator Rand Paul told CBS News on Friday he is considering a 2028 presidential run, estimating a "50-50" chance and stating he will decide after the November 2026 midterm elections.
- Reflecting his political roots, former Congressman Ron Paul mounted high-profile presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012, while Paul previously sought the Republican nomination in 2016, ending his campaign after the Iowa caucuses.
- A potential 2028 platform would link the libertarian and business wings of the Republican Party to counter populism, Paul said, offering an alternative to the populist approach that has dominated recent GOP politics.
- Recently, the senator opposed President Donald Trump's nomination of former Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin for Homeland Security while frequently criticizing Trump-era policies on foreign intervention and free trade.
- Analysts cite the senator as a significant contender for the post-Trump era, though he remains in "wait-and-see" mode, monitoring 2026 midterm results before deciding on a second Oval Office bid.
