As former Gov. Jeb Bush readies to launch his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday, a new poll shows he is facing major competition from another favorite son of the Sunshine State.
St. Leo University released a poll on Wednesday which shows Bush still leads in the Florida primary but U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is closing the gap.
U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., successfully amended U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart’s, R-Fla., Transportation House and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bill Tuesday to ensure illegal immigrants would not receive taxpayer funds for housing assistance.
Yoho’s amendment passed 244-181 with four Democrats breaking ranks to vote for it and three Republicans voting against it. Party lines held firm in Florida with all Republicans, including Diaz-Balart, voting for the amendment and Democrats united against it.
During its recent years at the top of the American political pyramid, the Bush family has valued loyalty and has generally defended its assorted subordinates. Even when the retainers have weighed the Bushes down politically -- Nicholas Brady, Dick Darman, Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, Alphonso Jackson, we can go on here -- the family has generally been loyal, often overly so.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., might not be joining the Avengers any time soon but they are the stars of new comic books as Bluewater Productions rolls out looks at the 2016 presidential candidates.
On Monday night, Bluewater released “Female Force: Hillary Clinton: The Road to the White House” which looks at the favorite for the Democratic nomination.
The Democratic leadership at the national and state levels have made their choice in South Florida, rallying behind Annette Taddeo, the former chairwoman of the Miami-Dade Democrats, to run against U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., in 2016.
Though Taddeo has failed in her past attempts to win political office and had to move to the district, Democrats are increasingly backing her campaign.
Looking to trip up former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Florida, largest swing state in the 2016 presidential election, the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Monday fired away at the Democratic presidential front-runner over President Barack Obama’s federal health-care law.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., made a big announcement on Monday -- but it wasn’t the one the political world has been waiting for.
Bush announced back in December that he was exploring running for president in 2016 and formed the Right to Rise PAC to help his efforts to follow in his father’s and brother’s path to the White House. Next Monday, at an event in Miami, Bush is expected to formally launch his presidential bid.
Vowing to fight for a “conservative agenda” in Washington, D.C., former New Smyrna Beach Mayor Adam Barringer kicked off his bid for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in Congress. With DeSantis running for the U.S. Senate in 2016, the GOP is expected to have an easy time holding onto this seat in a solidly Republican district.
Two Republican candidates on Monday jumped in the 2016 battle for the open congressional seat held by U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla. Murphy is running for the U.S. Senate.
With the Florida House rejecting Medicaid expansion on Friday at the close of the first week of a special session, groups across the Sunshine State reacted to the vote.
