Rand Paul had been in the Senate since 2011. He is the nepo baby of Ron Paul who served 12-terms in Congress and ran for President 3 times. He’s literally the “swamp” like few others. The self awareness of an amoeba.

I wish the phrase "net worth" was changed to "net wealth," and the phrase "PERSON X is worth 7 million dollars" to "PERSON X has amassed 7 million dollars."
