In this solemn occasion, all the former American presidents gathered at the Washington National Cathedral to pay homage to their compatriot, the late President Jimmy Carter, who passed away last month at the age of 100. President Biden, who was the first senator to endorse Carter’s successful bid for the White House in 1976, praised Carter as a man of ‘deep Christian faith in God’ whose extraordinary life was informed by it. Biden, who was the first member of the upper chamber to endorse Carter during his long shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976, emphasized the importance of Carter’s character and the dignity and respect he believed everyone deserves. Carter’s life was described as a story of a man who rose from a peanut farm in Georgia to lead the free world, and spent the latter decades of his life as a globetrotting diplomat and humanitarian. His life was remembered for its simplicity and dedication to ideals. The ceremony was attended by figures like Biden, Trump, Obama, Ford, Mondale, and others, showcasing a rare moment of bipartisanship. President Carter was remembered as not just a politician but also as a man committed to ideals and change.
