Upon learning of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s announcement that he will step down from his post in November, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to fill the vacancy—a signal that Mr. Paul will not be the independent presidential candidate’s running mate.
“Part of public service is about knowing when to usher in a new generation. It’s time to promote leaders in Washington, D.C., who won’t kowtow to the military contractors or push us deeper into foreign conflicts,” Mr. Kennedy wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
