Jenna Bush Hager is recounting the toll that a 1992 election loss had on her late grandfather, President George H.W. Bush.
On the Monday, July 22, episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna, Bush Hager was speaking about President Joe Biden's announcement that he will no longer run for reelection. "You know, I think, it’s so interesting because we’ve become a country that is so divided about politics that sometimes It’s hard to think, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s a human,' " Bush Hager, 42, said, adding: "I think even in the depths of us having these political opinions, and obviously it has come to a fever, we gotta remember that people are human."
Bush Hager added that Biden's announcement — and his family's response — echoed a situation in her own family, when her late grandfather lost his 1992 reelection bid to Democrat Bill Clinton.

He didn’t “leave” office. He was defeated in no thanks to Perot.
Shouldn’t have said “Read My lips- no new taxes” and then passed the biggest tax increase in history...
Jenna is clueless and naive.
Yup. He could have either not said he wouldn’t taxes or not sign the bill that did. It was all on him.
Bush The Elder needed to go
After saying “read my lips- no new taxes” and then signing the biggest tax increase in history.
Perot may have helped give us Clinton, but Clinton gave us Newt Gingrich and the FIRST BALANCED BUDGET IN DECADES - that he signed.
Also Bush looking at his watch during the debate.
Stop blaming Perot.
Perot simply tapped into a Nationalist agenda that the Stupid Party ignored after Reagan.
Also explains Pat Buchanan candidacy.
He was so crushed to the point that later he became best buds with Slick Willie.
Bush blew it all on his own. Besides, not a dime’s worth of difference between Bush and Clinton, they were two sides of the same coin.
You’ll get no argument from me on the Bush/Clinton comparison. Yet, Perot didn’t help.
That will reassure everyone that what we're seeing isn't an establishment op. /s
If I had to do it all over again, I would have voted for Perot.
Jenna, you’re an idiot.
Agree on all points. Not a wits difference between Bush & Clinton! And, the lemons into lemonade was truly Newt!
If silver spoons could talk.
Kennedy didn’t even get a full term thanks to your grampa.
Grandpa was a criminal of the highest order.
Molly Ivins was wrong on a lot of things, but she was right on about the Bushes.
