President George W. Bush is hitting the campaign trail for his brother.
The former president and his wife, Laura Bush, are scheduled to attend a rally in South Carolina on Monday. The campaign rally marks the first time he’ll hit the campaign trail for Jeb Bush.
President Bush will attend a rally at the North Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center in North Charleston, South Carolina. Sen. Lindsey Graham, who endorsed Jeb Bush, is also scheduled to attend.
While this marks the former president’s debut on the campaign trail, he has been featured in advertisements making a pitch for the former Florida governor. He cut a commercial for Right to Rise, the super PAC supporting Jeb Bush, which aired during the Super Bowl; and is featured in a radio advertisement running in South Carolina.
The stop comes at a critical time for the campaign. Jeb Bush finished fourth in the New Hampshire primary, and is hoping for a strong finish in the South Carolina primary. According to averages of South Carolina polls compiled by RealClearPolitics, Jeb Bush is in fourth place in South Carolina.
The South Carolina primary is Feb. 20.
