Rand Paul ending race to White House

Rand Paul withdraws from the battle for the Republican nomination for the White House.

The ophthalmologist and politician is in the Senate since 2011. He made known his candidacy for the presidency in April last year. During the campaign, he repeatedly clashed with both Democrats and Republicans. His political credo was: little state interference, low taxes and no military intervention. He was an opponent of the ubiquitous, numerous observations by the secret service NSA.
