MSNBC has the scoop:

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul is expected to announce plans to join the party’s 2016 presidential field on April 7, multiple sources inside Paul’s camp told msnbc on Tuesday. The announcement, scheduled to take place in Louisville, Kentucky, will serve as the official campaign launch for Paul, who has spent months traveling to early voting states to assess whether his largely libertarian message will catch fire with the party’s conservative base.

“This will be an official announcement, not an exploratory committee,” said a source close to Paul who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss his plans.

The move is not very surprising, particularly Paul’s decision to bypass the “exploratory” phase and dive right in. The move may prompt other potential candidates to announce their campaign plans.

    Rand Paul: ‘My Kochs promised me pallets of their $1 B 2016~ cash if I kiss their coal ash slurry.’ Proving once again nobody intelligent takes Koch coal ash cash.

      Nothing like the smell of a smoldering Koch Bros tire fire or toxic waste dump. Just think of it as the smell of money…

    Rand has shown himself to be right in line with Republican ideology!

    Has he gotten an exemption from the rules so that he can run for Senate and Prez at the same time?

    GOOD!
    it’s way past time for America to know who the ‘mystery heroes’ at the FAILED Bundy kow farm revolt to overthrow the US Government by force of stolen US Military arms are, and if anyone should know them personally by name it would be a WHITE US Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky who ” is just like them”.
