The Fox interview will be broadcast on Tuesday night, but it could be overheard by reporters standing nearby.
Pressed on the same-sex marriage case before the Supreme Court, Mr. Bush said: I believe in traditional marriage. I hope the Supreme Court rules that way.
He added that the country should not discriminate against any American based on sexual orientation.
Mr. Bush, a two-term governor of Florida, was in New Hampshire for a town hall-style meeting a day after officially announcing his presidential candidacy in Miami. He repeatedly rebuked Mrs. Clinton, his biggest Democratic rival, in Tuesdays interview. He called her record in Libya, where terrorists killed the American ambassador, a complete failure.
