why did rand paul vote no today

Rand Paul voted no today in the Senate on the shutdown-end package, primarily due to his objection to language related to hemp and agricultural provisions that he wants changed or removed before proceeding with the bill. He has been signaling that he will oppose advancing any funding measure that includes such hemp language without a separate vote or assurances he can secure changes. This stance has made him the lone Republican among many to oppose the moving- forward vote, slowing the broader effort to end the 41-day government shutdown.
