Ted Cruz won’t be the only official candidate for president much longer: Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton are all likely to get into the race for the White House over the next several weeks.

Here’s the latest:

Paul, the Republican senator from Kentucky, is the next candidate expected out of the gate. The libertarian-leaning lawmaker has an announcement in Louisville planned for Tuesday.

Rubio, who has said he will either announce a run for president or a run for re-election to the Senate, is preparing a campaign kick-off the week after Paul’s announcement.

“I’m making a big announcement Monday, April 13th in Miami and I want you and your family to be there,” Rubio wrote in a recent email to supporters.

Meanwhile on the Democratic side, Clinton, the former secretary of state, has leased office space for an expected campaign in Brooklyn, it was reported Friday. That could signal an impending announcement because FEC rules require someone to file as candidate within 15 days of conducting campaign activities.
