Latest News About Rand Paul Presidential Campaign, 2016

Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential campaign news largely centers on (1) his launch and (2) his early exit after poor results in early contests. He formally kicked off the run in April 2015, then suspended the campaign in early February 2016 after finishing fifth in the Iowa caucuses.[1][3]

Campaign launch (April 2015)

Paul launched his 2016 bid with a message that attacked both Washington and (at times) mainstream Republicans, framing his effort as a fight to “take our country back.”[1] Reporting at the time also emphasized his “limited government”/Constitutional pitch and that he was targeting early nominating states right after announcing.[4]

Iowa caucus result and suspension (February 2016)

After the campaign had not translated into strong national momentum, Paul suspended his 2016 presidential campaign following the Iowa caucuses.[3] In that Iowa finish, he placed fifth with about 4.5 percent of the vote, and coverage noted he planned to focus on his Senate seat in Kentucky.[5][3]
