As tributes pour in mourning the death of former President Jimmy Carter and praising his service, the nation will turn to memorializing his presidency over the week.
Statements from former U.S. presidents and world leaders flooded the news Sunday afternoon after Carter, age 100, died in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, marking the end of the longest life of any former U.S. president. President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden, and former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton all sent messages of gratitude for the 39th president’s career in government, and Washington, D.C., is now poised for an even busier month with memorial services for Carter coming ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
