Sen. Rand Paul said today he is suspending campaign for president:
It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of liberty.
Paul, was elected to the Senate in 2010 as part of the GOP's TEA Party wave. According to the Washington Post, he will return to his work in the chamber and to his Senate reelection campaign, where he remains a top target for Democrats as they try to retake the majority this year.
Campaign aides confirmed Paul's decision to suspend his campaign, the candidate made the decision to drop out following a disappointing finish in Monday's Iowa caucuses, where his father had placed a strong third in 2012. Paul finished fifth in Monday's Iowa Republican caucuses with 4.5 percent of the vote, behind Sen. Ted Cruz, billionaire. Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio and Dr. Ben Carson.
