Jeb Bush accidentally said he was running for president on Wednesday, a move that would trigger major restrictions on his fundraising, before quickly correcting himself.
“I’m running for president in 2016 and the focus is going to be on how we – if I run – how we create high sustained economic growth where more people have a chance to earn success,” the Republican told reporters in Nevada.
It was a slip from Bush’s usual language, which typically refer to his plans if he goes “beyond the consideration” and takes the plunge.
Bush spoke late Wednesday to the Clark County GOP dinner in Las Vegas – offering what has become a standard speech for his non-campaign appearances in early states. He didn’t address the controversy over his recent Iraq War comments, nor did he mention his brother, George W. Bush, though he discussed his parents. He also didn’t mention his comments from earlier Wednesday when he seemed to say he was running. “I am not a candidate,” he said at one point during the speech.
