Like no other family in American history, the Bush family has had an undeniably prominent role in American politics. Its been the source of a Senator, Congressmen, Ambassador to China, CIA Director, Vice-President, Two Presidents, Governor of Texas, and Governor of Florida. There has been much speculation about whether Jeb Bush would follow his father and brother and make a bid for the White House, and he’s denied any ambition to run for higher office. Now, comes this report which indicates that he hasn’t entirely ruled it out.
BERLIN (Reuters) – Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, ruled out running for president in 2008 but left open the possibility of a subsequent bid in an interview with a German magazine published on Sunday.
Jeb Bush, who is scheduled to visit Germany this week, told Focus weekly he had not thought much about running for the office held by his father and older brother except to rule out the next election at the end of George W. Bush’s second term.
“You should never say never. But for the 2008 election, my answer is definitely no,” he said, in comments translated into German by the magazine.
Jeb Bush in 2012, 2016, or 2020 ? Don’t count it out.
