(WHAS11) - BCUS Senate candidate Rand Paul tells WHAS11's Joe Arnold that Sarah Palin is endorsing his campaign.
"It's huge," Paul said, adding that he has never spoken to the former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican Vice-presidential nominee.
The endorsement by SarahPAC, Palin's political action committee, exposes a rift in the national Republican Party. The nation's top elected Republican, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), is backing Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the GOP primary.
Palin is a defacto leader of the Tea Party movement, the grassroots backlash to government bailouts and taxation.
Joe Arnold is talking to Rand Paul today and reports on the unusual way the endorsement was obtained tonight on WHAS11 News
