Bush did not say how much had been raised, but senior Republicans said they think his super PAC, Right to Rise, is on track to collect $100 million by the end of May. Those who heard Bush speak said it signals that he and his team are confident that they’ve amassed a sizable political fortune that will help bankroll his fledgling presidential aspirations.

Until now, George W. Bush has held the record for the best presidential fundraising debut of a GOP candidate. In the first four months of 1999, he brought in close to $37 million.
