Jeb Bush will end the suspense on June 15.
The
former Florida governor and likely presidential candidate teased on
Thursday morning that he would make an announcement on that date. Aides
to Mr. Bush said he would
speak at the Kendall Campus of Miami Dade College. The choice of
location highlights an issue Mr. Bush has focused on for years:
education.
“Coming soon…” Mr. Bush posted on Twitter, with a link to a page to sign up for more information.
Mr.
Bush has been aggressively raising money for his “super PAC” and has
come under increasing pressure to declare his candidacy. But once he
declares, he cannot raise
money for the outside group.
By
releasing the date of the announcement, he may be trying to end the
calls for some kind of investigation into his fund-raising efforts.
Several
of Mr. Bush’s aides, who will soon be on opposite sides of a campaign
finance-imposed firewall between the campaign and the super PAC, are
meeting this week in
Miami.
Mr.
Bush plans to use his super PAC for several campaign operations,
although it is not yet clear exactly what Right to Rise, the name of the
group, will do beyond airing
ads. Mike Murphy, Mr. Bush’s longtime confidante and top strategist,
will be at the super PAC, while another top adviser, Sally Bradshaw, is
expected to work on the campaign.
Under
campaign finance laws, the super PAC and the campaign cannot
coordinate. Mr. Bush is expected to have more super PAC money than any
of the other Republicans when
the filings are made public next month.
