DSCC Communications Director Sadie Weiner released the following statement on Rand Paul’s decision to finally focus on his Senate reelection campaign:
“Rand Paul’s longshot Presidential bid comes to an end but the damage to his reputation in Kentucky remains. Paul has lost support from across the state and been slammed by Republican activists at home after he made clear he viewed the Senate seat as little more than a consolation prize. Rand Paul returns home damaged and completely out-of-touch with the people he’s ignored, and Kentucky is ready for a senator who will always put them first.”
