Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is expected to announce he will run for the republican nomination in the 2016 race for the White House.

That announcement will take place at Miami Dade College at 3 p.m.

Before Monday’s announcement, the 62-year-old Bush unveiled his campaign logo which features his firest name in red with an exclamation point. Critics speculate the republican didn’t include his last name to distance himself from his family.

Bush, the son of one president and the brother of another, announced in December that he would “actively explore” the idea of running for president.

He’s one of 11 major Republican’s running for the nomination.

News Channel 8’s Lauren Mayk is in Miami for the announcement. Stay with WFLA.com for updates.
