Jeb Bush looked relieved to say it. “I’ve decided I’m a candidate for president of the United States of America,” said the former Florida governor Monday afternoon. Standing on a stage at Miami Dade College, Bush let out an audible sigh immediately after the announcement as the crowd around him cheered.

Wearing a blue dress shirt with no jacket or tie, Bush said he will “run with heart and run to win.” Besides a few early stumbles over the prepared text and an interruption from immigration activists, the speech showcased a confident Bush who touted his experiences as a two-term governor of one of the largest states in the country.
