A BUSH family member has joined the 2016 United States presidential race. He is former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush who formally launched his campaign in Miami, Florida yesterday.

Try as he might to emphasize that he is his own man and not his father or his older brother, who both served as president, Jeb Bush cannot shake the echoes of the past.

In October of 1987, 10 days after wrapping up a trip to Europe where he defied the Soviet Union, then-63-year-old Vice President George H.W.

Bush took to a stage in Houston, Texas, his adopted home, and launched a presidential campaign that was well-organized and well-funded. Yesterday, Jeb Bush, the 62-year-old former governor of Florida, having just returned from a trip to Europe where he talked tough against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, took the stage in Miami, his adopted home, and officially announced his own presidential campaign — one that is well-funded, like his father’s, but has not been quite as organized to date.
