"Bush 3.0" officially runs for President of the United States.

(Baonghean) - Just days after former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered her official presidential campaign speech in New York, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush also announced his candidacy with a speech at Miami-Dade University in Florida. Although he is the 11th Republican to join the presidential race, Jeb Bush is considered to have a strong chance of becoming the Republican nominee to challenge the Democratic contender, Hillary Clinton, creating a "Hillary 2.0 - Bush 3.0" scenario in next year's election.

In a speech delivered on the University of Miami-Dade campus, Jeb Bush stated that America “is on a very bad road,” and he promised to reform the country, aiming for 4% annual economic growth and the creation of 19 million new jobs. He also pledged to protect vulnerable groups, and to support and defend the rights of women, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.

Jeb Bush has officially announced his candidacy for President of the United States.

Jeb Bush chose Florida as the location for his presidential campaign speech because it is where he lives and where he began his political career. Perhaps his campaign team recognized that Jeb Bush's political achievements would be a strength in winning public trust.

Clearly, from a common-sense perspective, not many people would want to choose a candidate without political experience to sit in the highest leadership position in the United States, because decisions concerning the prosperity of a country with hundreds of millions of people leave no room for experimentation. Jeb has over 30 years of experience in American politics, since his appointment as Chairman of the Dade County Republican Party in 1984.

In 1998, he became the Governor of Florida. During his eight years as Governor, Jeb Bush implemented highly regarded policies such as reforming the state's education system, promoting tax cuts, and inviting prominent writers to serve in the state government.

Besides his notable political career achievements, Jeb Bush's prestigious background is also a "plus" in the race for the Republican Party's nomination in next year's US presidential election. As the 11th Republican to run for president (this number is predicted to rise to 15), Jeb Bush is considered not significantly superior to other rivals within the party, especially Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

However, with his older brother being former President George Walker Bush (Bush Jr., the 43rd President of the United States) and his father being former President George Herbert Walker Bush (Bush Sr., the 41st President of the United States), public opinion suggests that Jeb Bush inherited the finest qualities of his family to sit in the US presidency. Nevertheless, analysts argue that family background can be a "double-edged sword" if Jeb Bush doesn't know how to use it properly and differentiate himself from the two previous presidents. Perhaps Jeb Bush was aware of this when he dropped the Bush family name and used only "Jeb" in his campaign logo – a move to avoid being overshadowed by his family.

In an interview, he also stated that he was the "inevitable heir" of the family, but "Jeb is still Jeb and has a different life story," confidently declaring, "I can make difficult decisions. I have enough life experience."

One notable aspect of Jeb Bush's inaugural address was that he spoke in both English and Spanish – an unusual occurrence for a nationally televised speech. Analysts believe this was a shrewd choice by Jeb Bush to reach a wider audience, including immigrants, rather than just the Republican-leaning media outlets he has traditionally targeted.

Jeb Bush is known for his moderate immigration policies – a view quite different from many Republicans. His approach was to facilitate immigrants obtaining appropriate legal status, rather than simply becoming U.S. citizens.

Perhaps Jeb Bush realized that it was minority voters, the most vulnerable groups in society, who had helped the Democratic Party win the last two elections, and he wanted to change that!

US presidential elections have never been calm and always hold surprises until the last minute. Next year's presidential election is no exception.

It is still too early to know who will represent both the Democratic and Republican parties in the final stretch of the race for the White House. However, at this point, the most widely predicted possibility remains a new Clinton-Bush race in 2016 – something that happened in 1992.
