Jeb Bush Backs Ron DeSantis For 2024 Presidential Run

Jeb Bush has come out of hiding and has broken his political disappearance by endorsing the Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis to be President in 2024.

In a new Fox News special called “Who is Ron DeSantis?” Bush stated “He’s been a really effective governor. He’s young. I think we’re on the verge of a generational change in our politics.”

Jeb would go on to say “Who better to do it (become president) than someone who’s been outside of Washington, who’s governed effectively, who I think has shown that Florida can be a model for the future of our country,”

The Hill had more details:

Former GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush in a recent interview threw his support behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), arguing it’s time for “a generational change in our politics.”

“I think it is,” Bush, a former Florida governor himself, told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade in a Fox Nation special called “Who is Ron DeSantis?” when asked if it was the right opportunity for DeSantis to run for higher office.

“He’s been a really effective governor. He’s young. I think we’re on the verge of a generational change in our politics. Kind of hope so. I think it’s time for a more forward-leaning, future-oriented conversation, our politics, as well,” Bush said during the special. The comments aired last Wednesday but resurfaced online Monday.

While DeSantis has not officially announced a White House bid, a presidential announcement is almost expected with an anticipated timing following Florida’s legislative session. Only former President Trump and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.S. Nikki Haley have officially launched White House bids.

But that hasn’t stopped other Republicans from wading into the preliminary GOP presidential primary.

“Who better to do it than someone who’s been outside of Washington, who’s governed effectively, who I think has shown that Florida can be a model for the future of our country,” Bush said.

Serious question: How is it not a major RED FLAG when a RINO Globalist Swamp Creature like Jeb Bush is THIS excited about your candidacy? pic.twitter.com/tuwrrWhtHY

Independent had these details to report:

Former presidential candidate Jeb Bush said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has the opportunity to run for president in 2024 in a bid to beat former president Donald Trump, who crushed Mr Bush in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade asked Mr Bush, himself a former Florida governor, whether 2024 offered his successor an opportunity to seek the White House.

“I think it is,” Mr Bush said. “He’s been a really effective governor. He’s young. I think we’re on the verge of a generational change in our politics. Kind of hope so.”

Jeb Bush says DeSantis has "been a really effective governor". 😱 I think we've heard enough from the Bush family to last us a lifetime. 🤷🏻‍♀️https://t.co/NlAtwXk5Up
