This is quite a slip of the tongue.

Former Florida governor and likely GOP candidate for president Jeb Bush appears to have accidentally announced his candidacy.

Speaking to reporters in Reno, Nevada, Wednesday, Bush said, “I’m running for president in 2016, and the focus is going to be about how we — if I run — create high-sustained economic growth.”

It has been previously reported that Bush is expected to officially announce his candidacy as early as mid-June.
