On Monday, all three network morning shows covered George P. Bush – the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and current candidate for Texas land commissioner – telling ABC's Jonathan Karl that his father would likely make a 2016 presidential run.

NBC's Today offered a full report on the topic, with White House correspondent Kristen Welker proclaiming: "While polls show Bush is in the top tier when matched against other potential Republican candidates, political analysts say he could struggle in a primary. In April, he ruffled some feathers in his party's base with these comments about immigration....And one factor that kept him out of the race in 2012, the shadow of his brother's presidency."
