So says Bush's son, George P. Bush, in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC.

"I think it's actually, I think it's more than likely that he's giving this a serious thought in moving forward," Bush said of his father, the former Florida governor.

Bush has hinted that he may run in 2016, though his theoretical support for tax increases and a pathway to citizenship for some immigrants may hurt his candidacy in the conservative-heavy GOP primaries. --Jon Terbush
