“I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government,” Paul announced on his website.
Tuesday’s announcement makes Paul the second big name Republican to formalize their bid for the White House in recent weeks. Last month, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he’d also be pursuing the GOP’s nod ahead of the 2016 race.
Paul is expected to outline his campaign during a speech scheduled for later in the day on Tuesday in Louisville, KY.
