President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral was held Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. All five living presidents were in attendance. President Biden delivered a eulogy.
President Joe Biden: “Throughout his life, he showed us what it means to be a practitioner of good works and a good and faithful servant of God and of the people. And today, many think he was from a bygone era. But in reality, he saw well into the future.”
Following the ceremony, Carter’s body was returned to his hometown of Plains, Georgia, so he could be buried next to his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter. After headlines, we’ll continue our look at the presidency and legacy of Jimmy Carter.
