Former US President George W. Bush will campaign with his brother, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, during the upcoming South Carolina primaries later in February, the former Florida governor told US media on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Jeb Bush, who is also a son of a former US president, explained that his strategy was to "not abandon" who he was because he was "proud to be a Bush, it is who I am."

"He’s [George Bush] going to campaign for me in South Carolina and I’m excited about that," Jeb Bush told MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

On Thursday, George W. Bush released a campaign ad endorsing his brother for US president after the Republican candidate finished in the sixth place in the Iowa caucus earlier in the week.

In the latest polls, the popularity of the former governor of Florida has fallen compared to his rivals real estate tycoon Donald Trump, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

New Hampshire is the next state after Iowa to hold a vote for Republican and Democrat presidential candidates seeking their parties’ nominations. The New Hampshire primaries are scheduled to take place on February 9.
