There are new signs that former Florida Governor jeb bush is seriously considering a run. Kristen welker has more on that. Good morning. Good morning. Speculation has long been mounting about a possible jeb bush president ial bid. Over the weekend his son who is a candidate in texas this year, seemed to suggest his dad is leaning toward yes. Hes the former governor of florida and part of a political dynasty. Now jeb bush may soon take on the title of president ial candidate. I think hes still assessing it. In an interview over the weekend jebs son george p. Bush running for land commissioner was asked if there was better than a 50 chance his dad will run in 2016. I think its more than likely he is giving this serious thought. That hell run. Republican officials agree. Theres a lot of people whether it be our donor community, people we talk to who say that hes leaning toward yes. While polls show he is in the top tier, he could struggle in a primary. In april he ruffled fethers in his base with these comments about immigration. Its an act of love, its an act of commitment to your family.

Its not just four families or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified and weve had enough bushes. His son george sus if his dad runs the family will be all in. The family will be beside him 100 if he decides. Reporter a spokesperson for george h. W. Bush reaffirmed that telling me if it was up to the 41st president jeb would be the candidate, jeb has given few clues saying recently its a big decision. Its expected he will make that decision in the next several months. Matt, guys, back to you. All right, kristin, thank you. Tamron is on duty in the orange room.
