Jeb Bush released a trove of emails from his time as Florida’s governor on Tuesday, a massive yet incomplete record selected to show the likely Republican presidential candidate as in touch with constituents and closely involved in his work as the state’s chief executive. The release, which came with the first chapter of an e-book […]

Governor Scott, Excuse my impertinence, but I’m talking to you. Today, a Quinnipiac poll shows that more Floridians disapprove of your performance as governor than approve of it, this despite the fact that you just spent $80 million burnishing your TV image and Floridians’ generally sunny outlook about the future of the Sunshine State. How […]

He’s baaaack…Jeb Bush in Tallahassee that is, and he’s taking the Florida political news cycle by storm.

Jeb Bush takes his not-quite-yet presidential campaign through Florida with the announcement of an epic Republican fundraiser in Tampa this month.

Stepping closer to a White House bid, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is set to release thousands of emails Tuesday, plus the first chapter of a related e-book intended to highlight his compassionate leadership style and conservative credentials.

It’s severely early to be handicapping the 2016 GOP presidential contest, but if pollsters are going to spend money surveying voters about who they like in the scrambled field, well, it’s going to be news. A survey published Sunday morning from New Hampshire shows Jeb Bush taking a slight lead over other potential GOP candidates in […]

Mitt Romney opposed the government’s rescue of U.S. automakers. So did Jeb Bush. Both worked in finance and backed the Wall Street bailout.
