After flopping in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, Jeb Bush is ready to hit the campaign trail again. 

The former governor will take the stump for Congressman David Jolly who is running to defend his seat in Pinellas County.

As he announced his support for Jolly, Bush held his fire.

After announcing on Wednesday that he would run again, Rubio chased out most of the Republican primary field. Congressman David Jolly pulled out last week even before Rubio launched his campaign. On Wednesday, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and Congressman Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race.
