Jeb Bush's Height: A Political Advantage?
Height and Politics
A new study suggests that taller candidates may have an advantage in elections. The study, published in the journal "Political Research Quarterly," found that taller candidates were more likely to win elections than shorter candidates, even after controlling for other factors such as experience and party affiliation.
Jeb Bush: A Case Study
One example of this phenomenon is Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida. Bush is 6'3" tall, which is above average height for men in the United States.
Bush has been open about his height, and he has even used it to his advantage in political campaigns. In a 2016 interview, Bush said, "I'm a tall guy, and I'm not afraid to use it."
Whether or not Bush's height helped him win elections is difficult to say for sure. However, the research suggests that it may have given him an edge over his shorter opponents.
