Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says a Republican candidate should challenge President Donald Trump for the nomination in 2020.
Bush, who made an unsuccessful bid for the GOP nomination in 2016, made his comments on CNN’s “Axe Files.” The show will air on Saturday, but the host David Axelrod tweeted out Bush’s comments on Friday.
Axelrod wrote: “@JebBush: Republican should challenge @realDonaldTrump in ‘20. ‘I think someone should run just because Republicans ought to be given a choice...
"It’s hard to beat a sitting president, but to have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative, I think it’s important."
In another tweet, Axelrod noted “how incredibly candid” Jeb Bush was on the show regarding where the GOP and the nation are today.
