Morning Must Reads: June 15

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is officially entering the 2016 race, but not the way he hoped. The son and brother of presidents has raised a ton of money, but he has his work cut out convincing people to actually vote for him. His announcement speech will focus heavily on his record as governor, in which he will cast himself as a conservative who brought actual results to his state. The outcome of a trade deal will determine President Obama’s legacy, while its complications are leading his would-be Democratic successor, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to seemingly break with the White House. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is called out by the British Prime Minister’s office. And Clinton gives her first sit-down interview in Iowa.

Sound Off

“I don’t want to be critical of the New York Times, but they did buy the Boston Globe and the Worcester Telegram for $1.3 billion and sold it for $80 million. So if we’re talking about bad investment decisions or spending decisions, I’d put that way higher on the list.” — Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, defending Sen. Marco Rubio’s financial decisions

“Well, there’s a lot of them. It looks more like the Kentucky Derby than Belmont … They’ve got a lot of youth, they’ve got a lot of energy. They’ve got some significant diversity and they’re no dummies.” — Former President Bill Clinton to CNN on the GOP field
