Jeb Bush to Make Announcement June 15

He's expected to announce that he's running for the GOP nomination for president in 2016.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tweeted early Thursday that he will make an announcement concerning a presidential run on June 15.

The link Bush tweeted redirects to a splash page paid for by Jeb 2016 Inc. and reads: "Be the first to know, RSVP now!"

The June 15 announcement is expected to take place at Miami-Dade College's Kendall campus, according to initial reports.

Sen. Marco Rubio, also from South Florida, announced he's running for president in April. He made his announcement at Miami-Dade College's Freedom Tower.

"We've got two that are really strong and who would be incredible presidents," said Nelson Diaz, with the Miami-Dade Republican Party.

"It's unprecedented, I don't think it has ever happened anywhere, forget the same city, but at the same college, it's great," said Miami-Dade College's Juan Mendieta.

This is a developing story and will be updated as new information becomes available.
