Senator Rand Paul has yet to announce who he will endorse for president. However, he stated that he will not be supporting Nikki Haley’s bid for the White House.
The Kentucky senator posted his thoughts on X on Friday, saying he likes various aspects President Trump, Governor DeSantis (R-Fla.), Vivek Ramaswamy and Independent candidate RFK Jr. have to offer.
Even though he didn’t make an endorsement, Paul (R-Ky.) did make the case for why he won’t be supporting Haley.
“I’m not yet ready to make a decision, but I am ready to make a decision on someone who I cannot support,” he said. “So, I’m announcing this morning that I’m Never Nikki.”
“I’ve also seen her indicate that she thinks you should be registered to use the Internet,” Paul continued. “That people posting ideas anonymously. I think she fails to understand that our Republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Madison, John Jay, and others, who posted routinely for fear of the government. They posted routinely, anonymously.”
Senator Paul believes that idea alone should disqualify her in the mind of all libertarian-leaning conservatives.
He continued to post on X, highlighting some of Haley’s record and rhetoric. He stated that she advocated for a gas tax, praised the United Nations and supported foreign aid, saying she has a “thirst for war.”
Paul concluded his message by directing the public to visit nevernikki.net

It is still early in the race for the 2024 presidential election, but endorsements and support from influential figures can play a significant role. Senator Rand Paul, a prominent Republican from Kentucky, recently took to X to express his thoughts about potential candidates and his decision to not support Nikki Haley’s bid for the White House.
While Senator Paul has not yet announced who he will endorse, he did mention that he admires various aspects of President Trump, Governor DeSantis of Florida, Vivek Ramaswamy, and independent candidate RFK Jr. However, he made it clear that he will not support Haley.
In a tweet he posted on X, Senator Paul stated, “As I look over the field, I don’t think I yet have a first choice, but I do know one thing: count me in as #NeverNikki!” This tweet highlights his strong stance against endorsing Haley’s presidential campaign.
The Senator elaborated on his decision by expressing concerns about Haley’s stance on internet anonymity. He mentioned, “I’ve also seen her indicate that she thinks you should be registered to use the Internet. That people posting ideas anonymously. I think she fails to understand that our Republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Madison, John Jay, and others, who posted routinely for fear of the government. They posted routinely, anonymously.”
These statements reveal Senator Paul’s belief that Haley’s position on internet privacy and free speech goes against the principles of libertarian-leaning conservatives.
Furthermore, Senator Paul criticized Haley’s record and rhetoric. He highlighted her advocacy for a gas tax, praise for the United Nations, and support for foreign aid, which he believes indicates a “thirst for war.” These stances further solidify his decision to not support her candidacy.
Senator Paul concluded his message by directing the public to visit the website nevernikki.net, presumably a platform that presents his arguments against Haley’s campaign. This final call to action encourages voters to educate themselves and consider the reasons behind his stance.
While Senator Rand Paul has not yet chosen his preferred presidential candidate, his decision to not endorse Nikki Haley sends a clear message. As the race for the 2024 election continues, these early endorsements and declarations can shape public opinion and influence the direction of the campaigns. The public will be watching closely to see which candidate Senator Paul ultimately chooses to support.
