George P. Bush, son of former Florida governor and much-speculated 2016 presidential contender Jeb Bush, raised eyebrows on Sunday when he said it was “more than likely” that his dad would run for president.
His dad, however, doesn’t sound too happy about it.
“He’s got an opinion. He didn’t talk to me,” Jeb said in a Wednesday interview with MSNBC.
“When you have kids you’ll probably have the same frustration,” he continued. “You love them to death and they have their own opinions — but I’ll make up my mind just as I’ve said at the end of the year.”
“Same as I’ve always said,” Jeb concluded. “There’s nothing new here.”
The New York Times also reported Sunday that George P., George W., and George H.W. were supportive of and pushing for a Jeb 2016 candidacy.
“If it were up to his father, he would be a candidate,” Jim McGrath, a spokesman for George H.W., told the Times.
