Barbara did qualify her comments, indicating that there wasn't any suggestion of Jeb not being qualified enough, oppositely she added: "He's the most qualified, but I don't think he'll run."

Jenna Bush Hager spoke about her father's legacy and big day, saying: "We're so proud of him."
"We walk into this museum, and you see baby pictures of us with him. That's how we see him, of course, but more than that, we're proud of his service to our country and everything he did," she added.
Babara also gave an update on her husband's condition: "It's just the darn legs won't work, but other than that, he's perfect. He's sweet and loving and it must be frustrating for him."
