Leading Republican presidential prospects faced off at an event Tuesday in battleground Florida, a state that could prove pivotal to the Florida heavyweights seeking the nomination, not to mention any rival who manages to win here instead. Jeb Bush, a former two-term Florida governor, and Florida’s junior Sen. Marco Rubio, were the home-state stars at a GOP economic gathering that drew a half dozen White House hopefuls to a Disney World convention center – Rubio, tied up by Senate business,…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio tried to reach out to regular Americans during a stop at a Reno gated community on Friday. The Florida senator told some 130 GOP activists that polls show the public believes the GOP cares more about the wealthy, and the party needs an agenda for struggling Americans if it wants to defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016.

GOP wrestling with too many ’16 prospects for a TV debate

in Top Headlines by

Never have more than 10 candidates taken the stage for a televised Republican presidential debate. Wish the GOP luck in trying to keep it that way. With the party’s first debate set for August, Republicans must decide to either allow what could become a nationally televised circus act, or figure out how to fairly whittle down a field likely to include eight current or former governors, four senators, two accomplished business executives and a renowned neurosurgeon. More than a half-dozen…

The Florida senator said “the 20th century is over, and it’s never coming back,” and he promised “transformational” leadership from a new generation. The comments were part of Rubio’s sweeping campaign pitch that paints a dire picture of America today, yet promises a better future. But the theme also helps the 43-year-old…

When Hillary Rodham Clinton takes the stage at fundraisers thrown by a group that wants to elect her president, she’s not presented as a White House candidate. She’s a “special guest.” When Jeb Bush raises money for a group preparing to run major parts of his all-but-certain presidential campaign, he doesn’t ask for the cash himself. And the hundreds of millions these groups will raise? They have to spend it without talking strategy with the candidates and campaigns they support.…

Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton taking different tracks on potential matchup

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Whereas the conventional thinking, at least, is quite the opposite: He’s got a real primary race to settle first and she doesn’t.

Latest GOP campaigns for White House star Hillary Clinton

in Top Headlines by

Hillary Rodham Clinton starred in two presidential campaign launches this week. Neither was her own. The leading Democrat was featured prominently by two Republican contenders, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former technology executive Carly Fiorina, whose road to relevancy in 2016 may be inextricably tied to the former first lady. As other Republicans begin to jab each other, both Fiorina’s and Huckabee’s nascent campaigns are based on the notion that they are uniquely positioned to defeat Clinton. Both may…
