Former First Lady Laura Bush once again sent social media into a frenzy after Jenna Bush Hager revealed that her mother had accidentally “edited” her personal Wikipedia page. While trying to fix a detail about Jenna’s career, Laura mistakenly added the line “Jenna once ran for President,” leaving fans confused about whether it was a joke or a secret reveal. Laughing, Jenna recalled, “I spent the entire evening explaining to NBC that I’ve never run for anything!” But just moments later, her sister Barbara Bush posted a cryptic tweet about Jenna — one so strange that people couldn’t help but wonder if it was actually true.

According to Jenna, Laura Bush had been browsing her daughter’s Wikipedia page one evening when she noticed a small detail about Jenna’s career that seemed outdated. Wanting to fix it herself, the former First Lady clicked “edit” and began typing. But instead of updating a minor job title, she accidentally added a shocking new line: “Jenna once ran for President.”

“I think she just meant to change something about my book tour dates,” Jenna laughed while retelling the story, “but somehow, my mom managed to start a presidential rumor.” Within hours, screenshots of the Wikipedia edit began circulating across social media platforms, with thousands of users sharing, questioning, and joking about the supposed “hidden political ambitions” of the TODAY show host.

Jenna said she didn’t realize what had happened until she started getting messages from friends and producers. “NBC called me asking if I had anything to announce,” she said through laughter. “I spent the entire evening assuring everyone that I’m not running for anything — not even PTA president!”

But just when fans thought the mix-up was over, things took an even stranger turn. Jenna’s twin sister, Barbara Bush, posted a cryptic tweet that sent everyone spiraling again. The tweet read simply:

“Some dreams start as jokes… until they don’t  #PresidentJenna”

Within minutes, Barbara’s tweet exploded online, gaining thousands of likes and replies from fans demanding answers. Was she joking, or was there something more to it? Even a few political commentators chimed in, wondering if the Bush family might be hinting at something.

Adding to the mystery, Barbara later deleted the tweet without explanation, which only fueled the speculation further. Social media erupted with theories: some fans believed it was an inside family prank, while others half-jokingly wondered if Jenna was secretly planning a future political move inspired by her family’s legacy.

Jenna, of course, took it all in stride. “My sister’s got a wicked sense of humor,” she said the following morning on TODAY. “But maybe next time I’ll change her Wikipedia page and see how she likes it.”

The entire ordeal turned into a viral sensation, with fans affectionately dubbing it “Wikipedia-gate.” Memes flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, featuring photoshopped campaign posters of “President Jenna” and “First Lady Laura.” Even late-night hosts got in on the joke, teasing the idea of a “Bush 3.0” run for the White House.

While the incident was clearly just a family mishap, it showcased once again the relatable and playful dynamic between the Bush women. Beneath the laughter, though, fans couldn’t help but feel a twinge of curiosity — after all, with her charm, charisma, and media presence, Jenna Bush Hager might not make such a bad candidate someday.

Whether the Wikipedia edit was a simple mistake or a prophetic accident, one thing’s certain: Laura Bush may have just written the most talked-about “campaign announcement” of the year — entirely by accident.
