The Texas congressman officially announced his pursuit of the 2012 Republican presidential nomination Friday ahead of a rally in Exeter, N.H.
"At this moment I'm officially announcing I am a candidate," he told ABC's "Good Morning America (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/entertainment/tv-shows/good-morning-america.htm#r_src=ramp)."
"The time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much of what I've been saying for 30 years so I think the time is right," he added.
Paul, 75, made his remarks from New Hampshire, where he's on a two-day swing following a stop in Iowa.
The libertarian-leaning Republican, who has already run twice for the presidency in 1988 and 2008, had already formed a presidential exploratory committee, opened an office in Iowa and used his trademark money bomb method to raise more than $1 million online on the day of the first Republican presidential debate in South Carolina last week.
