Jeb Bush Campaign Pulls Ads In Early States, Deploys More Staff

Jeb Bush's presidential campaign is pulling ads previously scheduled to air in Iowa and South Carolina, two key states in the nominating process, and is instead committing resources toward dispatching additional staff in early primary states with a little more than a month to go until the Iowa caucuses.

The moves signify a heightened sense of urgency for the former Florida governor, whose significant financial advantages and family ties have failed to translate into meaningful traction amid the crowded GOP field. Bush currently trails in 6th place in Iowa, behind a crop of outsider, insurgent candidates like real estate mogul Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz.
