When Jeb Bush finally says he’s running for president on Monday, he’ll begin the campaign with much to prove.
Back in December, the former Florida governor said he was exploring a 2016 run. That announcement alone had the power to kick off the campaign.
Yet Bush’s supporters had hoped that by now, he’d be in a commanding position in a crowded Republican field.
Instead, he hasn’t broken away.
The 62-year-old Bush plans to make his candidacy official with a speech at Miami Dade College, the nation’s largest university.
He’s one of 11 major Republican’s running for the nomination.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and a few others are still deciding whether to jump in – possibly swelling the field to almost 20.
