Talk:Rand Paul

Semi-protected edit request on 6 December 2022
Remove "and became one of his top supporters in the U.S. Senate during and after his presidency.[3]" add a period following "While he initially opposed candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican primaries, he supported Trump following his nomination".

He voted with Trump the 3rd lowest of any Republican Senator. Jdrico6 (talk) 18:22, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * ❌. "One of his top supporters" might be an overstatement because they have an odd relationship, but it's sourced so I don't think it's fair to remove it. We could add some nuance if you have a reliable source. –CWenger (^ • @ ) 19:08, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @CWenger Define a reliable source, there is evidence Rand Paul wasn't a close Trump supporter all over The Internet. His voting record should speak for itself. Ginacanadiangirl (talk) 01:21, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Feel free to suggest an addition based on a reliable source. –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 01:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read Reliable sources and take a look at WP:RSP for analysis of commonly debated sources. Cullen328 (talk) 01:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @CWenger Does this qualify as a reliable source? I don't understand the nuance. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/rand-paul/ Ginacanadiangirl (talk) 00:43, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would qualify. I do notice the current ref focuses on impeachment, but we use it as a more general statement. I suggest something like this:
 * "While he initially opposed candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican primaries, he supported him following his nomination and became one of his top defenders in the U.S. Senate during his impeachment, though on key votes Paul aligned with Trump the third least among Republican senators during Trump's presidency."


 * How does that sound? –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 01:28, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @CWenger Yes, that's perfectly fine but change it to "during his first impeachment trial" as there were two. Ginacanadiangirl (talk) 01:33, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅! Thanks for your input. –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 01:37, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @CWenger No, thank you! It's always terrific to work with you. You're an asset to Wikipedia. Ginacanadiangirl (talk) 02:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Spotted typo (18th October 2023)
Hi,

I can't seem to edit the main article, but I noticed a typo today - in the Disease Control section, it currently says, 'On October 10,  20023 , Paul published Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up with Regnery Publishing'

This should be obviously say 'On October 10,  2023 , Paul published Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up with Regnery Publishing'

Could someone kindly make the fix?
