Jeb Bush 'Moving Forward' On 2016 Presidential Run, Says Son George P Bush running for Texas land commissioner Says former Florida governor ‘giving this a serious thought’

George P Bush, who is running for Texas land commissioner, told ABC on Sunday his father was “still assessing” a presidential bid, but suggested it was more likely that he would seek the White House this time.
