From ABC:

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said today he is suspending his 2016 campaign for president. “It’s been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House,” Paul said in a statement. “Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of liberty.

Paul finished fifth in Monday’s Iowa caucuses with 4.5 percent of the vote, behind rivals Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ben Carson.

    Matt Upton:

    Brian Watt: I sincerely like Rand Paul even as I vehemently disagree with him on foreign policy and national security issues. I think he plays an important role in the Senate to remind everyone of the excesses and overreach of the federal government.

    I’m in this neighborhood. Rand is a much needed spoiler in the Senate, and I hope his can overcome any disillusionment with the process to remain there for several more terms.

    I’d also add that Paul is, I think, very good at being a senator. He’s been substantive, has moved a number of debates in a good direction (with some caveats) and works well with people as different as Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell.

    He ought to get a medal for working well with Cruz.  ;)
