WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Rand Paul said he would be better at expanding the Republican Party than Ted Cruz.

Paul, the Kentucky senator, was reacting Monday night to Cruz’s announcement he will run for president. “We kind of come from the same wing of the party,” Paul said on Fox News, as quoted by the Hill. “What makes us different is probably our approach to how we can make the party bigger…It isn’t just about rousing a base,” said Paul. Paul is expected to announce his own bid for the Republican nomination in two weeks.
