'I'm Never Nikki': Sen. Rand Paul Issues Anti-Endorsement Of Nikki Haley
HuffPost
But the libertarian-minded lawmaker is "not yet ready" to endorse a Republican candidate for president.
In a video announcement as unique as the libertarian-minded legislator making it, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Friday delivered his anti-endorsement of Nikki Haley for president.
Paul declined to endorse a specific alternative to the former South Carolina governor, saying that he appreciates qualities in former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and even Democrat-turned-independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“I’m not yet ready to make a decision, but I am ready to make a decision on someone who I cannot support,” he said in the video, which was posted to social media. “So I’m announcing this morning that I’m never Nikki.”
He has created a website, NeverNikki.net, where conservatives and libertarians can learn more about what he dislikes in Haley’s record.
