It is the end of an era and I think we have lost faith in humanity, our presidency,” he added.

Carter attended both and gave the eulogy at Ford’s funeral. In fact, he was joking at the time that both liked a New Yorker magazine cartoon that pictured a little boy telling his father: “Dad, when I grow up I want to be former president”. After the funeral, Carter’s body will be transferred to his home country, Plains, where he lived for 44 years, after leaving the White House. There was the “headquarter” of his diplomatic and humanitarian work.

In the last two years he had stopped treatments and received only comforting treatment at his home. He last appeared publicly at the funeral of his beloved wife, Rosalyn, in November 2023. In August, his grandson, Jason Carter, had stated that his grandfather was looking forward to voting for Kamala Harris in the November presidential election – which Trump won. Biden, who was elected for decades to the U.S. Senate, was the first senator to have supported Carter’s nomination for the presidency.
