“Senator Paul’s proposal will provide the people of Kentucky more influence in deciding the presidential nominee for the Republican Party,” said Whitfield in a press release. “Without a Presidential Caucus, the presidential primary in Kentucky will not be held until May, and by then, many earlier primaries in other states will have already selected a presidential nominee. Although I would not support a caucus system for other political offices, I do believe a Presidential Caucus would be beneficial."
Whitfield thanked Senator Paul for his willingness to help raise money to offset the costs of a caucus.
"We are fortunate to have Senator Paul as a serious presidential candidate. His intellect, work ethic, character, and personal leadership skills are desperately needed in our country today," Whitfield said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from Kentucky has also voiced his support for the caucus.
