Bush on 2016: “Nothing New Here”

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush tried to quiet the talk of a 2016 presidential run after his son, George P. Bush, said he was “more than likely” going to run for the White House.

Bush was in Colorado for an appearance on behalf of Colorado Republicans and spoke to NBC News and said his son has “an opinion, he didn’t talk to me.”

“When you have kids, you’ll probably have the same frustration. You love them to death and they have their own opinions – but I’ll make up my mind just as I’ve said, at the end of the year,” Bush told NBC.

The decision from Bush will be closely watched as it could set up a potential Bush vs. Clinton presidential election should Hillary Clinton run for president again, and assuming both won their parties’ nominations.

Bush was asked if what he said recently at Vanderbilt University, about making up his mind over the holidays was accurate. Bush said there’s “nothing new here.”
