WASHINGTON (AP) — Taking another step toward a presidential run, Jeb Bush is resigning his advisory role with British banking giant Barclays.

A Bush spokesman said Thursday that the former Florida governor would leave his senior adviser position at the end of the year. Bush has been with the banking and financial services firm since 2009. An aide said he counseled business clients around the world on economic regulations and policies.

The potential Republican presidential contender also plans to stop adding paid speeches to his schedule, although he will honor a handful already booked for early next year.
