Former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will stump for the Republican governor of Michigan next month, fueling speculation that he may consider a run for the White House.
Tickets for the “Governor’s Gala” to raise money for Gov. Rick Snyder ’s reelection cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000, according to the Detroit Free Press.
