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.

Here are your must-reads:

“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.

Marco Rubio’s financial decisions
