Ex-governor of Florida and
brother of former President George W
Bush, Jeb Bush has expressed his desire to run for the top post in 2016.
"[Will] actively explore the
possibility of running for President," he updated his Facebook status on
Tuesday. He will form a political action
committee to "facilitate conversations with citizens across America."
Mr Bush is considered to have pro-immigration
views that are going to be a major issue in the 2016 campaign. His open views
on immigration as well as on education have enraged some of the fellow
conservative Republicans.
His name is not the only one to
be doing the rounds for the top spot. Former first lady and current Secretary
of State, Hillary Clinton is currently the frontrunner for a Democratic ticket.
Mr Bush would be the fourth
member of the Bush family to seek the President's office; his brother George W
Bush and his father George Bush Sr served a combined 12 years in the White
House, and his also ran for the post.
It needs to be noted that he is
going to face stiff competition from Republican Senators Rand Paul, Marco
Rubio, and Ted Cruz. And Governor Chris Christie is also not lagging far
behind.
