While Mitt Romney’s wife appears dead set against the idea of him running a third campaign for president of the United States, wife of Jeb Bush said that she is all for her man running in 2016.
“My wife is supportive, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t understand the challenges that this brings,” Jeb said in an interview with the Associated Press Tuesday. “This is ultimately my decision with as much consideration as I can to take into account the people that I really love.”
Bush has been actively encouraged to run by several members of the GOP establishment and would enter the presidential contest as an early favorite. But he has publicly indicated that concerns over the toll of a presidential campaign on his family are weighing heavily on his decision to run. Columba Bush was previously reported to be reluctant to support a 2016 bid.
If the Romneys are serious about not running in 2016 – and there are questions about their claims of being “done, done, done” – we might be looking at another Bush/Clinton matchup – Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton.
As if 2 bushes weren’t enough!
