Former governor of Florida, Jeb Bush dropped out of the presidential race on Saturday, February 20, ending a quest for the White House that started with a war chest of $100 million.
No single candidacy this year fell so short of its original expectations.
It began with an aura of inevitability that masked deep problems, from Mr. Bush himself, a clunky candidate in a field of gifted performers, to the rightward drift of the Republican Party since Mr. Bush’s time as a consensus conservative in Florida.
