TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — Jeb Bush recently announced he is actively exploring the idea of running for president. Now, the former Florida governor is stepping down from an advisory role with British banking giant Barclays. Is this a sign he prepping up for a presidential bid?
A Bush spokesman said Thursday that the former Florida governor would resign his senior advisor position at the end of the year. Bush has been with the banking and financial services firm since 2009.
Bush has yet to step away from a series of other business interests. He raised more than $60 million as chairman and manager of a new private equity fund as recently as September.
Opposition researchers in both parties are already sifting through the business activity seeking fodder for attack.
