Bush, who also
fared poorly in earlier contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, said
the race had been "hard fought" but that voters of those three
states had spoken. In what appeared to be a jab at Republican
frontrunner Donald Trump, whom Bush has accused of lacking
ideas, the former Florida Governor said, "ideas matter, policy
matters."
Bush, the son of former President George H.W. Bush and brother
to former President George W. Bush, entered the 2016 campaign as
the favorite, but was unable to convert a sizable fundraising
advantage into success at the polls.
