Jeb Bush has formally launched his 2016 White House bid, telling supporters in Miami he is the candidate to steer America back from its "very bad course."
The 62-year-old former Florida governor kicked off his long-expected campaign for the US presidency in a speech at Miami-Dade College.
The son of former President George HW Bush and brother of former President George W Bush joins an already crowded Republican field.
Mr Bush is the 11th candidate to seek the Republican nomination, and more are expected to announce bids in the coming weeks and months.
All roads at this early stage appear to point to a general election showdown with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
