Jeb Bush “appears to have unintentionally announced his candidacy for president in 2016 in a conversation with reporters on Wednesday that was caught on video,” Reuters reports.
Said Bush: “I’m running for president in 2016, and the focus is going to be about how we, if I run, how do you create high sustained economic growth.”
Just after those comments he quickly clarified that he had not made up his mind.
