Forget Iowa and New Hampshire — the hottest spot on the campaign trail is late-night television.
Jeb Bush, who announced he was running for president on Monday, stopped by Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show to slow jam the news — something you may recall President Obama did back in 2012. While the “news” in this case wasn’t recent headlines but a brief summary of Bush’s formal campaign announcement and select accomplishments, Fallon’s suggestive commentary made the segment something you definitely haven’t heard before.
“He’s got lots of experience down south,” Fallon joked. “He came from Texas where everything is bigger. He turned Florida from a limp peninsula into a virile member of the U.S. economy.”
See the full video below, as well as Fallon’s interview with Bush, where the presidential hopeful talks about how he met his wife:
