The 72-year-old congressman Ron Paul has solemnly vowed to continue his current campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
There has been confusion in recent weeks since the Texan gave the impression that he was withdrawing from the presidential campaign to refocus his political efforts on a well-funded House primary challenge.
“I will stay in as long as my supporters want me to,” the 10-term congressman promised on CNN.
Paul said students around the country believed there existed no novelty in the campaigns of other candidates.
The Texan lawmaker added that in his travels, he had found ‘something very significant going on around the country’ saying that he ‘couldn’t stop this movement’ even if he tried.
The re-affirmation of an active candidacy will be exciting news for the hundreds of thousands of Paul’s diverse supporters.
