Bobby Jindal launched his presidential campaign Wednesday with a speech at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, Louisiana. Here is a transcript for the full remarks. --- > “” --- ## Transcript [00:00] Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal announced he is officially [00:03] running for President in 2016. The announcement came in [00:06] the form of videos like this one of him and his wife telling [00:09] his children he is running. Okay, if we move to the white [00:11] house, you can have a puppy. Really? Yay. Jindal at one [00:14] time was considered an upcoming star in the GOP. In a [00:17] party looking for diversity, his parents are immigrants from [00:20] India, although Jindal rejects the term Indian- American, [00:23] and has Called for the end of hyphenated Americans. He [00:26] was Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services [00:29] under George W. Bush. He was also elected to Congress [00:32] in 2005, and served until 2008, when he then became the [00:36] Governor of Louisiana. Felt lately Jindal's popularity has [00:39] been dwindling. He has been pulling dead last among [00:42] 2016 Republican hopefuls, and his approval ratings are [00:45] even slipping in his home state. We don't just need a [00:48] Republican in the White House, we need a Republican [00:50] who's gonna make big changes. Still, he's been acting like [00:53] a candidate for a while now. He has already been traveling [00:56] to early primary states and giving interviews. Now, Jindal [00:59] has his work cut out for him. He enters a field of more than [01:02] ten major GOP presidential candidates. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3934818/bobby-jindal-campaign-launch-transcript/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3934818/bobby-jindal-campaign-launch-transcript/"},"headline":"Transcript: Read Full Text of Gov.
