Struggling Jeb Bush Downsizes Campaign, Cuts Payroll 40 Percent

In a sign that the Bush campaign is in deep trouble, Bloomberg Politics reported on Friday that the Bush campaign was downsizing to remain competitive in the run up to the nation’s first presidential caucuses and primaries. The campaign is letting some workers go, and implementing drastic pay cuts for many of the workers who will stay. Jeb’s campaign plans to cut payroll by 40 percent within a week. The campaign is also downsizing their Miami headquarters, in the hopes that a leaner operation can keep them afloat as they limp into the Iowa and New Hampshire contests.
