Republican Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has finally endorsed President Donald Trump, despite Election Day being over three months ago.
Sen. Paul made the unorthodox announcement in a Wednesday post on X.
Paul made the announcement after witnessing Trump’s achievements after returning to the White House.
He admitted in the post that he “was wrong” not to endorse Trump in the run-up to the 2024 election.
In his announcement, Paul pointed to Trump’s cabinet picks.
He also cited Trump’s Truth Social post in which the commander-in-chief blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“A few people may have noticed that I resisted an enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump during the election,” Paul declared in the tweet.
“But now, I’m amazed by the Trump cabinet (many of whom I would have picked).
“I love his message to the Ukrainian warmongers, and along with his DOGE initiative shows I was wrong to withhold my endorsement.
“So today, admittedly a little tardy, I give Donald Trump my enthusiastic endorsement!
“(Too little too late some will say, but, you know, it is sincere, there is that),” he added.
“Don’t expect this endorsement to be fawning.
“I still think tariffs are a terrible idea, but Dios Mio, what courage, what tenacity.
“Go @realDonaldTrump Go!”

The senator enthusiastically supported Trump’s choice to tap Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.
He also backed former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
However, Paul has indicated he will not support Trump’s pick for Labor Department secretary, former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR).
Paul did speak out on 2024 election candidates before November 5, however.
Ahead of the Iowa Republican caucuses last year, Paul issued an anti-endorsement of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
Yet, he stopped short of endorsing Trump ahead of the 2024 contest.
However, he did note during an interview last year on “Honestly with Bari Weiss” that he would vote for Trump over then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
