The GOP’s election night power grab in the U.S.Congress has officially launched the 2016 Republican presidential primary race.

All three Republican Senators and potential 2016 presidential candidates, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, will now be able to point at Tuesday night’s election results,look donors and future supporters in the eye, and asked them to support their presidential campiagns.

Again, that is if they run in 2016.

While Rubio stayed under the radar (by design), Paul and Cruz put themselves out there.

Here is what they tweeted.

Washington, get ready to squeal! Congratulations @joniernst! #MakeDCListen

Rubio put out this statement the following day:

Voters across the country have sent a clear message that they are not ready to give up on the American Dream. The American people have elected a new crop of reformers to go to Washington, end the dysfunction and achieve real solutions to the many obstacles standing in the way of all people who are trying to achieve a better life.

“I hope President Obama will listen carefully to the message the American people sent him in this election, and work with Congress to solve the pressing issues facing all Americans. The American people deserve it.

“In the coming months, I look forward to working in a Senate Republican majority to advance the reform agenda I’ve presented this year to promote job creation and higher education, help people save for retirement, improve our anti-poverty programs, and rebuild and modernize our military to meet the challenges we’ll face throughout this century.”
