Bush Decision Won’t Influence Rubio

Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) spokesman told The Hill that Jeb Bush’s decision to “actively explore” running for president in 2016 will not factor into the senator’s own deliberations about a White House bid.

Said Alex Conant: “Marco has a lot of respect for Governor Bush, and believes he would be a formidable candidate. However, Marco’s decision on whether to run for president or re-election will be based on where he can best achieve his agenda to restore the American dream — not on who else might be running.”
