“He asked me to give him a eulogy,” he added. Then the President of the United States caught himself sharing confidential information, saying, “Sorry, I shouldn’t say that,” according to The Hill.
James Carter, 39th President of the United States, has been in a home hospice in Plains, Georgia since February 19. At 98, he is the longest-lived American president. Carter’s niece said on February 27 that Carter still had “some time.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified that she does not know if Biden and Carter have spoken to each other since the former president was admitted to the hospice, adding: “When the time will be come and appropriate, this conversation will certainly take place.” “They have known each other since 1976. Their relationship has lasted many decades,” Jean-Pierre said.
Biden was the first elected official outside of Georgia to support Carter’s presidential nomination in 1976. In 2020, Carter called the fellow Democrat his “first and most effective supporter in the Senate” and a true and devoted friend.
