Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he is "50-50" on potentially running for president in 2028 during an interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning."

"Yeah, I don't know yet, so maybe they know something I don't know," Paul said when asked about a recent Washington Examiner headline on the topic. "We're thinking about it, and I would say 50-50. We'll make a decision after the [2026 midterm] election."
