Kentucky senator Rand Paul told CNN’s Candy Crowley this morning that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, Ky.) is unlikely to face a Tea Party challenger in the 2014 election, despite rumors to the contrary. “I haven’t heard of any challenger coming forward,” Paul said.
Asked about the prospect of a Democratic challenge from actress Ashley Judd, who is reportedly mulling a run, Paul told Crowley, “When I heard Ashley Judd might run for office, I thought maybe it was Parliament, since she lives in Scotland half of the year.”
Judd, who late last month announced her intention to divorce Scottish race car driver Dario Franchitti, recently put her home in Scotland on the market.
