Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from between 1977 and early 1981, has been in hospice care for about 18 months and suffered the loss of his wife Rosalynn last year
Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, 99, is eagerly awaiting his chance to cast a ballot for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris this fall even as he approaches his 100th birthday, his grandson said on Wednesday.
“He’s super aware,” Jason Carter said. “Just recently, we were talking about his 100th birthday, and he said, ’Yeah, I’m excited about that, but I’m really excited to vote for Kamala Harris.’” “He’s engaged, like a lot of people in Georgia, pretty energized by the current moment,” Jason Carter said. Biden stepped aside last month and endorsed Harris, his vice president, for the nomination. Carter was also a one-term president after losing to Republican Ronald Regan in 1980.
