Jenna Bush Hager kicked off Tuesday’s broadcast of Today with a special message to viewers: “The most important thing you can do is to vote.”

While Hoda Kotb noted that Election Day in America can be quite a “stressful day” for many, Bush Hager admitted that she found herself becoming emotional when she went to vote with her husband last week.

“I told you how I – I didn’t threaten him, but I can’t think of another word – where he was going to go without me to early vote and we went on Friday, we made it a date, we stood in line together,” she recounted to Kotb.

She added, “I couldn’t help but almost tear up because there’s something so beautiful about having the rights that we do.”

She also urged their viewers to exercise their right to vote. “There’s such a beautiful part of our country which is, no matter who you vote for, that we get this right, that we get to use our voice,” she said.

Kotb, on the other hand, admitted that she’s been stress eating all morning.

“I mean, it’s a stressful day for many, but it’s also a day to celebrate, but it’s also stressful,” she said, causing Bush Hager to laugh.

The Today hosts did not share whether they voted for Vice President Kamala Harris or former president Donald Trump in this election. But Bush Hager’s twin sister, Barbara, recently endorsed Harris and canvassed homes in Pennsylvania for the VP.

“It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend,” she said in a recent statement to People. “I’m hopeful they’ll move our country forward and protect women’s rights.”

However, their father, former U.S. President George W. Bush, announced that he will not be endorsing either presidential candidate this election.

Though Bush Hager hasn’t commented much on the 2024 presidential election, she praised President Joe Biden for making the “admirable” yet “difficult” decision to drop out of the race in July.

She told Kotb that Biden president reminded her of her own grandfather, George H.W. Bush, who was “crushed” when he lost the 1992 presidential election to Bill Clinton.

She recalled, “I’ll never forget when, in 1992, he worked so hard and he wasn’t elected and he was crushed, and he wrote a letter to President Clinton which went around on the internet but the end of it was, ‘You are my president. And today, I am rooting for you.’”
