Rand Paul , a libertarian and 2016 presidential candidate, has clashed with President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans .

Paul was the lone GOP senator to vote against a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown.

He's also likely to present hurdles as congressional Republicans turn their attention toward reconciliation to pass Trump 's policy priorities.

Paul will likely create headaches for the White House in the coming months as congressional Republicans craft a reconciliation package to pass pillars of Trump ’s agenda.

As a leading fiscal policy hawk, Paul regularly bucks the GOP on any spending he deems irresponsible in the face of the ever-rising national debt.

Still, Paul determined it was time to offer Trump an endorsement last month , albeit a little late.
