Many of the often talked about potential Republican candidates to succeed Donald Trump in the presidency are supporters of Trump’s war against Iran. This includes two people at the top of many lists who are among the Trump administration’s most vocal Iran War advocates — Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Will there be any opponents of the Iran War as choices in the race? One possibility to fill that role is Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
A CBS Sunday Morning report aired over the weekend was built around an interview with Paul. The report focused largely on Paul having distinguished himself among Republican members of the United States Senate by opposing the Iran War. Indeed, Paul, in the report, called the war unconstitutional and said he will vote against funding it.
Asked if he will throw his hat into the ring for the 2028 presidential election, Paul answered in the report that the chance he will do so is “50-50” and that his decision on the matter will come after the November midterm elections.
