Jeb Bush gets endorsement from former GOP leader Eric Cantor
Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Thursday endorsed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for president.
Cantor, who represented Virginia's seventh congressional district from 2001 to 2014, was ousted from office after losing the 2014 Republican primary to an upstart tea party candidate. It was a stunning defeat for one of the House's most powerful Republicans.
After Cantor voiced his support for Bush, the former governor's 2016 GOP rival Donald Trump quickly took to Twitter to antagonize Bush over the news.
