Patriot Update

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul is hinting that he may run for president in 2016.

“Am I interested in thinking about that? Yes,” Paul, the son of retiring Texas congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul, said when asked by ABC’s Jonathan Karl if he might explore his own presidential bid in four years.

Paul added that he wants “to be part of the national debate,” but said he is not ready to make the final decision to run.
