Jeb Super PAC to Run $1M Foreign-Policy TV Ad

Right to Rise, a super-PAC supporting Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, on Wednesday said it has begun running a new foreign policy-focused ad on Fox News backed by more than $1 million.

The spot, called “Lead,” features Bush's comments on intervention in the Middle East and other foreign-affairs issues. It comes as Bush fights back against rival Donald Trump's claims that he may have been able to prevent 9/11, unlike Bush's brother, former President George W. Bush.

Explaining the timing of the ad, Right to Rise spokesman Paul Lindsay said in an e-mail, “Jeb has been the leading voice in this race on refocusing American foreign policy to defeat ISIS and defend Israel—our most important ally in the Middle East.”
