The Magnificent Seven
When asked if he was running for president in 2016, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he had to convince his wife first, ABC News reports.
Said Paul: “Where’s my cellphone? Can I call my wife? There’s two votes in my family. My wife has both of them, and both of them are ‘no’ votes right now.”
He added: “If I’m a very able politician, I’ll tell you in a year whether I’m able to persuade my wife. Right now, I don’t know yet, but I thank you for your interest.”
