Chris Cuomo asserted that Jeb Bush "doesn't seem to be the new Republican" on the 18 May 2015 edition of CNN's New Day, after the former Florida governor voiced his support of traditional marriage during a recent interview on CBN. Cuomo later underlined that Bush is "going to have to figure out how to please the plurality" on the marriage issue, and added that "this is not a well-calculated move on that front."

Co-anchor Michaela Pereira also spotlighted how the potential Republican presidential candidate previously stated that "there should be respect for the good people on both sides of the issue," and claimed that Bush's latest remark on marriage had "very different tone." She then asked, "Could that just be because of who he was talking to? He was at a very conservative Christian group....So was he pandering to the audience, or is that really where he stands on the issue?"
