Jeb Bush: 'Split Ballot' on 2016 Presidential Bid

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush might be considering a bid for president in 2016, but not all of his family members believe he should be running for the position.

In April, former first lady Barbara Bush said she did not want her son to run for president in 2016.Hes by far the best-qualified man, but no. I really dont, said Mrs. Bush when she was asked if she wanted to see her son make a presidential bid in 2016. I think its a great country, there are a lot of great families, and its not just four families or whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified, and weve had enough Bushes.

But former president George H.W. Bush is on board for his son's potential run for the White House in 2016. The former Florida governor hinted his father wants him to make his own run for president in an interview with ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.

I think weve got a split ballot amongst the Bush senior family. Pretty sure thats the case, he said.

His older brother, former president George W. Bush, also agreed that Jeb Bush would make a great candidate for president.

Hed be a marvelous candidate if he chooses to do so. He doesnt need my counsel cause he knows what it is, which is run, said George W. Bush in April about his brother's potential candidacy. But whether he does or not, its a very personal decision.

Jeb Bush served as the governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. If he runs in 2016, he would be the third member of the Bush family to make a bid for the White House.
