Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is scheduled to deliver an important foreign policy speech as the campaign moves away from front-runner Donald Trump's publicity.

Set to speak in Nevada, home to a growing Latino population -- comprising 27.5 percent of the state's overall population -- the former Florida governor will speak about terrorism, including the Islamic State militant group.

In excerpts disclosed by the campaign, Bush will speak about President Barack Obama and the administration's "elaborate efforts" to not refer to select terrorist attacks as "radical Islam." According to Bush, modern terrorists have the same violent ideologies as those seen during the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He also said terrorists are on the offensive and "gaining ground."

"The reality is that radical Islam has been spreading like a pandemic - across the Middle East, throughout Africa and to parts of Asia, even in the nations of the West, finding recruits in Europe and the United States," said Bush in prepared-for-delivery remarks.

In regards to the Islamic State militant group, Bush said the group is the "focus of evil in the modern world." The Republican presidential candidate said every civilized nation, namely those with power and strength, has a responsibility to "oppose and defeat" the Islamic State.

Bush will question Obama's decision to withdraw from Iraq following the "surge" operation. The withdrawal of U.S. troops was a "fatal error," according to Bush, and paved the way for the Islamic State to enter. The Islamic State, also referred to as ISIS, won't be the major focus of the address, as the former Florida governor will mention Iran and its alleged exploitation of the Middle East region, as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"ISIS grew while the United States disengaged from the Middle East and ignored the threat," said Bush.

He would add, "And where was Secretary of State Clinton in all of this? Like the president himself, she had opposed the surge ... then joined in claiming credit for its success ... then stood by as that hard-won victory by American and allied forces was thrown away."

Bush also called into question Clinton's accomplishments during her tenure as secretary of state. In his prepared remarks, he acknowledged Clinton visited Iraq only once. Bush said Obama and Clinton were eager to be "history-makers" but failed in the process.

"The threat of global jihad, and of the Islamic State in particular, requires all the strength, unity, and confidence that only American leadership can provide. Radical Islam is a threat we are entirely capable of overcoming, and I will be unyielding in that cause should I be elected president of the United States," Bush's prepared statements read.

"We should pursue the clear and unequivocal objective of throwing back the barbarians of ISIS, and helping the millions in the region who want to live in peace. Instead of simply reacting to each new move the terrorists choose to make, we will use every advantage we have -- to take the offensive, to keep it, and to prevail," continued Bush.

Ahead of Bush's remarks, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra of California and the Democratic National Committee will host a press call on Tuesday evening to address the former governor's "disastrous" foreign policy plan.

Bush's foreign policy speech comes after Democratic presidential candidate Clinton disclosed her college education plan. On Monday, Clinton revealed a 10-year $350 billion plan to allow free community college, attendance at in-state public universities without applying for a loan, and Pell Grants to cover living expenses.

The Bush campaign confirmed the address will occur at 6 p.m. local time from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. A live stream has been set for the address.
