Rand Paul casthimself as a more electable Ted Cruzduring his appearance on"The Kelly File" Monday, one of the first potential opponents to remark on Cruz's candidacy.
Cruz announced he would run for presidentMonday during a speech at Liberty University in Virginia, positioning himself as a conservative who would fight government overreach.
"I didn't find much I disagreed with," Paulsaid of Cruz's speech. "If you look at our voting records, you'll find that we're very, very similar. I guess what makes us different is probably our approach as to how we would make the party bigger."
Paul said he and Cruz came "from the same wing of the party," but that polling showed him doing better against Hillary Clinton.
According to a Real Clear Politics average, Clinton beats Paul 50-41, a closer margin than any potential Republican 2016 candidate but Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who would lose to Clinton 49-41. Cruz would lose to Clinton by 50-39, Real Clear Politics found.
Paul said a potential winner couldn't win an election by just "throwing out red meat" and said he would be able to both excite the base and expand the party, "taking those principals of liberty" and a "unique brand of conservatism" and bringing them to a new audience.
When compared against Cruz, Paul has a higher percentage of Republican primary voters who say they could see themselves supporting him -- 49 percent to 40 percent -- and his libertarian leanings are more appealing to many young voters than Cruz's stance on social issues.
During Cruz's announcement speech at Liberty University, several students wearing shirts in support of Paul sat in the front row. Paul said he wasn't sure who orchestrated the students but said he was "glad to see them there and organized and excited about the possibility of them running."
Hesaid he'd make an announcement concerning his run April 7 and said he would "aggressively go after the Clintons" and their "corruption."

Paul made it clear Monday night he plans on waging a debate against his fellow tea party Republican, Cruz, who on Monday declared himself a presidential candidate.

"Right now, I'm the only one that beats Hillary Clinton in certain purple states," Paul said on Fox News' "The Kelly File," talking about recent polls. "There will be a lot of conservatives. Ted Cruz is a conservative, but it also goes to winability. And people will have to make a decision: Which is the Republican that can not only excite the base but can also bring new people into the party without giving up principles?"
The Kentucky Republican, who's expected to announce his own presidential bid on April 7, said he was "glad" to see Liberty University students wearing t-shirts in support of his own all-but-declared candidacy, when Cruz made his announcement.
"I guess what makes us different is probably our approach to how we would make the party bigger," Paul said, referring to himself and Cruz. "I'm a big believer that you should stand on principle ... but I also think we should take those principles and try to bring in new people with them."
For Paul, that means "not just throwing out red meat, but actually throwing out something intellectually enticing to people who haven't been listening to our message before."
Cruz has rocketed to the national spotlight in two and a half years since winning election to the Senate in 2012, in part because of his unabashed efforts to take down Obamacare. He's become a favorite among tea party circles, and his campaign strategy involves targeting the more libertarian wing of the party as well.
"Instead of a government that seizes your emails and your cell phones, imagine a federal government that protected the privacy rights of every American," Cruz said during his speech Monday.
