Jeb Bush stumping for Gov. Nikki Haley in Greenville, Lexington, Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- a 2016 Republican White House prospect -- will stump in Greenville and Lexington for Nikki Haley on Thursday ahead of headlining a fundraiser for the South Carolina governor.
Bush will appear at 12:45 p.m. at the S.C. GOP's Greenville Victory Office at 850 Wade Hampton Blvd. and at 3 p.m. at Hudson's Smokehouse at 4948 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington.
He will headline a fundraiser for Haley at the Capitol City Club. Haley has nearly $1 million more in the bank than her Democratic rival, state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, heading into the race's final two weeks.
This is Bush's first trip to South Carolina in what has become an early 2016 presidential cycle.
Haley campaigned with another 2016 GOP presidential hopeful, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, last month in Charleston.
Other major GOP prospects -- including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul -- have visited the early presidential primary state. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came to Columbia on Wednesday for a S.C. GOP party fundraiser.
