Rand Paul to confirm Senate run

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, says he's definitely running for re-election in 2016.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Sen. Rand Paul is expected to announce his bid for a second term in the Senate on Tuesday, launching what will likely be a complicated election season as he attempts to keep his seat and run for an expected presidential campaign.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported late Monday night that the Kentucky Republican's political operation will start rolling out his Senate bid with endorsements from Kentucky GOP leaders, and that he's still "four to six months" from making a decision on a presidential bid.

"The one thing we've decided is that I'm definitely running for re-election,'" Paul told the newspaper.

The problem for Paul is that Kentucky only allows candidates to appear on the ballot once during an election. If he runs for president, that would pose a challenge come May 17, 2016, Kentucky's primary day.

And if he wins the GOP nomination for both offices, the dilemma could come up again six months later on Election Day.

'Just to help Rand'

Paul's allies in the Republican-controlled state Senate tried to change the law through the legislature last year, but the measure stalled in the Democratic-led Kentucky House.

House Speaker Greg Stumbo, a Democrat who played an instrumental role in preventing the bill from advancing, said it would have violated a clause in Kentucky's Constitution that prohibits special legislation that would only affect one person or a small group of people.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul will announce Tuesday he is seeking a second term in the Senate in 2016, Fox News confirms.

The Kentucky Senator, who is considering a presidential run in the same year, said he is still about four to six months away from making an official decision about whether or not to run for president.

"The one thing we've decided is that I'm definitely running for re-election," Paul told the Lexington Herald-Leader.

"We still have great problems that confront us, and I think there needs to be a voice for fiscal sanity looking at spending across the board and saying, 'We've got to look at all facets of government in order to control spending, or we don't at our own peril,'" Paul said.

Paul cites the Obama administration's "war on coal" and the need to pay for road and bridges in the state as reasons why voters should give him another term.

"I think that there's unfinished business in the sense that I ran for office because I was frustrated that the country was accumulating so much debt and that I was worried that it was not only a drag on the economy but ultimately I think a threat to the country," Paul said. "I've been here for four years in the minority party, and I think the Democrats have continued to make it worse. We still borrow a million dollars a minute."

The senator thinks Kentucky is becoming a more conservative state and says Obama is leading the country in the wrong direction. Paul also hopes he can turn U.S. companies operatign overseas to comeback home and return to its high profits.

Paul also hopes that a Republican Congress can use all appropriations bills to "rein in the arrogance and the lawlessness of the president."
