But Paul was overshadowed by several larger figures in the race, and he too suspended his campaign after the Iowa caucuses. Paul then jumped back into the Senate race in Kentucky, running for reelection to his Senate seat and winning that fall.
Paul has become one of Trump's closest allies in Washington, though they often don't see eye-to-eye on policy. Late in , Paul was apparently assaulted by a neighbor, suffering multiple broken ribs.
He also recently staged a memorable filibuster-of-sorts ahead of the vote on a bipartisan budget package, which he slammed over how it would grow the deficit. Former Republican Gov. Chris Christie made it past the February New Hampshire primary before calling it quits in the presidential race. He soon backed Trump and became one of his closest allies, though he was boxed out from a White House or Cabinet-level job after Trump's victory.
He watched as his approval ratings in New Jersey hit incredible lows, leaving office earlier this year to little fanfare. Carly Fiorina, a former tech executive who sought the Republican nomination for president, also called it quits after New Hampshire. Fellow failed candidate Ted Cruz, a Texas senator, made a strange move to announce Fiorina as his running mate before locking down the party's nomination, which he would fail to do.
Fiorina has kept a low profile since the handful of days she spent as Cruz's running mate. She called on Trump to step aside after the "Access Hollywood" tape was released and, in late , described being subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace. Former Republican Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, a late addition to the Republican field, never seemed to catch on much. But he outlasted several bigger-name candidates before the South Carolina primary in February He received a grand total of 12 votes in Iowa and votes in New Hampshire.
He was also under consideration for an ambassadorship in the Trump administration. Jeb Bush of Florida was the favorite heading into the Republican primary. But after being targeted by Trump in his early days of campaigning, Bush quickly slid further and further down the ladder. He dropped out of the race following a disappointing finish in the South Carolina primary. Since ending his campaign, Bush has said he will likely never seek public office again.
At times, he has been staunchly critical of Trump. Famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson sought the Republican nomination in the cycle and found great success, even reaching the top position in the polls before ceding it to Trump.
He ended his campaign early in March Carson quickly backed Trump, even though the billionaire had savaged Carson along the trail. Carson then found a home in the Trump administration, becoming the president's secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Marco Rubio of Florida was considered a rising star within the party and a candidate many thought had a chance of winning the party's nomination. But it was not in the cards for Rubio as he had a dismal finish in the Florida primary and dropped out immediately after.
Rubio, within months, announced he would seek reelection to his Florida Senate seat after initially saying he would forgo reelection. He won in the fall, defeating Democratic nominee Patrick Murphy. Rubio has kept a somewhat low profile during the start of his second term in the Senate, though he's been outspoken on certain, specific issues such as paid family leave.
Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich battled till the very end of the Republican primary, dropping out after the Indiana primary in May , leaving Trump with a clear path to the nomination. Kasich has been one of the party's most outspoken members in the nearly two years that followed, often splitting from Trump and party leadership.
Many feel that he is ramping up for another presidential campaign in , possibly as an independent candidate to challenge Trump. Cruz gave Trump his biggest battle, but it still was not enough to defeat him. The two went to war in the final months of the campaign, with Trump branding the Texas senator as "Lyin' Ted. Cruz returned to the Senate, where he was once known as one of the most combative members of the body.
This time around, however, he's maintained a much lower profile. He's currently running for reelection in against Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke. Sanders shocked the world with his much-better-than-expected performance against Clinton in the Democratic primary. After duking it out with Clinton for months, he ended his campaign in June , just weeks before the party's convention. Sanders returned to the Senate with a heightened profile, one he has embraced in the months that followed the election.
Though he would be years-old on inauguration day, , Sanders is viewed as a leading contender for the Democratic Party's nomination. Green Party nominee Jill Stein didn't win many votes in the election, but she likely was able to pull enough votes away from Clinton to swing the election in Trump's favor, angering some liberals and others on the left.
In December , the Senate Intelligence Committee announced it was investigating Stein as a part of its probe into Russian election interference in the presidential election. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson was widely viewed as the leading third-party candidate heading into the November vote, but a string of gaffes in the final months of the campaign took a bit of wind out of his sails.
Meanwhile, his vice presidential nominee, Bill Weld, seemed to encourage voters to cast ballots for Clinton over Trump. After his defeat, Johnson completed a bike trip from Mexico to Canada in just 35 days.
He's vowed never to seek the presidency again, and he serves as an honorary chair of the Our America Initiative, a political advocacy committee he formed in March 15 Five primaries, including Rubio's home state, Florida.
