Hello, again, and welcome. Im Jim Tedder in Washington. On todays program, we are talking U.S. politics.
There are many people who want to be president of the United States. But, of course, not everyone can be. That is why there is a long process through which political parties choose candidates for the nations highest office. The process can easily begin as early as two and a half years before the presidential election.
The leading parties hold primary elections and caucuses to help reduce the number of candidates. Then the partys nominee is officially named at a national convention or meeting.
The next US presidential election is still more than two years away. But some of the possible candidates are starting to organize their campaigns. Today, Milagros Ardin looks at the race for the presidential nomination in the Republican Party.
For the first time in many years, there appears to be no clear leader for the Republican nomination. At this early date, there are some individuals who are at least considering a run for the White House. Among them is Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. He recently won a test vote at a meeting of conservative activists. The senator is a strong critic of President Barack Obama.
We will challenge you in the courts. We will battle you at the ballot box. Mr. President, we will not let you shred our Constitution!
Senator Paul is likely to have plenty of competitors. One of them is another Senator, Ted Cruz of Texas.
