Jeb Bush Closes In On Presidential Campaign

Gage Skidmore

Jeb Bush looks set to formally announce his presidential campaign.

Bush told reporters at an economic summit in Orlando this week he was close to making a decision, and on his Twitter feed he posted that he’ll make a ‘big announcement’ in Miami.Adam Goodman, a GOP strategist says the timing makes sense, as the first Republican debate is set for August.

“It is no surprise, in this case, Governor Bush has an incredible record of achievement to talk about and now he can do it more openly and fully than he can under the constrictions of a non-campaign campaign”, said Goodman.

That non-campaign campaign has allowed Bush to raise money through his super pac, without certain donation limits.
