WASHINGTON — Jeb Bush is giving a strong indication that he'll join the ever-expanding Republican presidential campaign field later this month, announcing Thursday morning that his decision will come on June 15 in Miami.
The former Florida governor, widely expected to run for the Republican nomination, wrote "coming soon" on Twitter with a link to the website jebannouncement.com. On that page, the date 06.15.15 was listed, followed by the tease, "BE THE FIRST TO KNOW. RSVP NOW!" Bush also tweeted it in Spanish, "Próximamente 6.15.15."
"My expectation, my hope is I'll be a candidate," Bush said earlier in the week, while attending an economic forum in Florida with other 2016 GOP prospects.
Aides confirmed Bush had made a decision and that he'll announce it in Miami on June 15, on the heels of a European trip where he'll visit longtime allies Germany, Poland and Estonia.
The announcement will take place that afternoon at Miami Dade Community College.
