RFK Jr. Wants Rand Paul To Be The Next Republican Leader of the U.S. Senate

March 1, 2024

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) plans to step down from his role as the Senate Republican leader at the end of the year, and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced who he would like to see take the senator’s place.

Kennedy wants U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) to replace McConnell.

“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, February 28 in a post on X, the platform commonly known as Twitter.

“It’s time to promote leaders in Washington, DC who won’t kowtow to the military contractors or push us deeper into foreign conflicts,” Kennedy continued. “We need representation who will prioritize American wellness over all else. I believe @RandPaul would be an incredible successor. He’s shown great judgment and has the grit to put hardworking Americans first.”
