GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) – Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is on the campaign trail, boosting Republican candidates in this year’s midterm elections while reinforcing his relationships in critical 2016 presidential primary states.
First on Bush’s tour was North Carolina on Wednesday, where he visited a small lighting distribution company with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis and helped raise campaign money for Tillis’ bid to oust Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan.
The stops allowed Bush to offer his own prescription for the nation’s ills. He told a Greensboro crowd that a few big things need to be fixed to help the nation take off again, and most of them originate in Washington, D.C.
Bush has said he’ll make a decision on a White House bid by the end of the year.
