MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -- Rev. Al Sharpton is not saying whether he plans to endorse a candidate for the 2016 Democratic primaries.

Sharpton and Hillary Clinton left a closed-door meeting at the National Urban League in New York and the former presidential candidate says only he and Clinton know but "they ain't telling."

Clinton jokes, "My lips are sealed."

The former secretary of state met with black leaders in New York. Sharpton tells reporters that for the first time, the nation will "see a black family leave the White House. We don't want black concerns to leave with them."

Meanwhile, Jeb Bush is touting himself as the Republican candidate for president best poised to lead and rebuild the American military.

Speaking to more than 100 employees at FN America's Columbia, South Carolina gun manufacturing facility Tuesday, Bush said that his executive experience as governor, particularly leading and deploying Florida's National Guard, gives him the skillset needed to manage the country's armed forces and also help support them when they return home as veterans.

Bush's comments Tuesday focused heavily on gun rights. He also addressed the Supreme Court vacancy following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia Saturday, saying that he would choose someone who like Scalia was a "lover of liberty."

Bush's rival, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, says he's planning to release his tax returns "any day" -- or even "momentarily."

The Republican presidential candidate addressed the release of his tax returns Tuesday as he campaigned in South Carolina.

He released several years of returns during his 2010 Senate campaign, but has yet to release any returns beyond the 2009 tax year.

Rubio did not specify the release date when pressed by The Associated Press Tuesday, but said it would be soon. He plans to release returns covering tax years from 2009 through 2014.

It's common for leading presidential candidates to release their returns.
