(Steven Senne/AP)Former Florida governor Jeb Bush said a fellow Republican should challenge President Trump for the GOP nomination next year, though he acknowledged the difficulties in defeating a sitting president. “I think someone should run, just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,” Bush said in an interview on CNN’s “The Axe Files” scheduled to air Saturday, according to excerpts released by the network. According to CNN, Bush didn’t say whether he’s spoken to Hogan about a potential run. William F. Weld, a former governor of Massachusetts, announced last month that he would form an exploratory committee to challenge Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020.
