Carter celebrates its 100th birthday: with Kamala Harris against Trump!

Washington-former US President Jimmy Carter celebrates his 100th birthday today and has set an ambitious goal: he would like to take part in the upcoming presidential election and support Kamala Harris with his voice. In a conversation with his son Chip, Carter said that he wanted to do everything he can to get to the election in good time. This comes at a time when the ex-president in the state of Georgia, the home of the ex-president, is sent to postal voting documents about a month before the election on November 5th.

Carter, who is faced with the former President Donald Trump in the election, hopes for a final end to the Trump era. Georgia is one of the particularly competitive states where every single voice could be decisive. The ex-president, who grew up on a farm in modest conditions without electricity and flowing water, can look back on a moving political career. After his election in 1976, Carter was only a term in the White House, which he had to end after a defeat against Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Carter's historical heritage and personal challenges

His presidency is characterized by severe setbacks, including the hostage drama of Tehran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Despite his difficulties in office, Carter gained great respect after his term in office, especially for his humanitarian commitment and his role as a mediator. In 1982 he founded the Carter Center, which is committed to democracy and human rights. His merits were recognized in 2002 with the Nobel Peace Prize.

In recent years, Carter has had personal losses, including the death of his wife Rosalynn, with whom he was married for 77 years. Her health had deteriorated and the family strained their dementia. Carter himself, who has been in home care for some time, has broken down significantly in terms of health. During the funeral service for Rosalynn, he was present in a wheelchair and his condition made it clear how much he suffers from the physical restrictions. Nevertheless, he continues to be committed to emotionally, as his grandson Jason reported.

jokes about Carter's age in the election campaign

At 100 years, Carter is the oldest living ex-president in the United States, which has always given the current campaign. Joe Biden, the 81 -year -old president, was repeatedly associated with Carter, and comedians used Carter's age to tear jokes. When bidges were confronted with a weak appearance, it was even jokingly considered that Carter could go into the race as a possible alternative. Despite the numerous challenges during his term in office, Carter in the United States is often seen as the best former president, which is due to his tireless work in the service of peace and human rights.
