U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said Friday that he is leaning toward a run for president and will likely make an announcement in his home state of Kentucky sometime in March or April.
“Anything that I do, you know I’m from Kentucky, will be in Kentucky,” Paul told reporters following a speech in Louisville on Friday.
Hours later, he was in Alabama testing his pitch that the GOP’s hopes depend on nominating “a different kind of Republican.”

“We think there are valid, constitutional arguments for why states can’t have different rules, so Wisconsin, we don’t think, can have different rules for who can be eligible for office than Kentucky can,” he said. “It’s optimistic to think that we would have a general election issue.”
