Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is ready to get behind Rand Paul.
McConnell endorsed Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the state’s Republican Senate primary — the race in which Tea Party favorite Rand Paul just walloped McConnell’s hand-picked establishment candidate.
The Senate Minority Leader now says his party is ready to get behind Paul in the general election.
Dr. Paul ran an outstanding campaign which clearly struck a chord with Kentucky voters and I congratulate him on his impressive victory. Now Kentucky Republicans will unite in standing against the overreaching policies of the Obama Administration. We are spiraling further into unsustainable debt and Kentucky needs Rand Paul in the U.S. Senate because he will work every day to stop this crippling agenda.
