100-year-old former President Jimmy Carter plans to vote for Kamala Harris

Jimmy Carter has long been mocked. The 39th President of the United States was given only a four-year term. As a former president, Carter is much more well-known. Carter is currently seriously ill but is determined to vote for Kamala Harris in the US presidential election on November 5. NTV writes about this.

Jimmy Carter has been feeling very ill for a while. It also had to suffer a serious loss at the end of last year. His wife Rosalyn died at the age of 96. The former president attended the funeral ceremony while leaning on a wheelchair.

“He’s very weak and can’t do a lot of things on his own, but he’s very emotionally attached,” his grandson Jason Carter said recently. The former most powerful man in the Western world is currently receiving hospice care in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

According to Jason Carter, the 100-year-old 39th President of the USA is determined to participate in the US presidential elections to be held on November 5 and vote for Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris.

Additionally, Jimmy Carter’s grandson states that he is interested in the situation in the Gaza Strip and what is happening in the world in general.

Victories and defeats characterized the political life of James Earl Carter. What particularly upset him was his heavy defeat by Republican Ronald Reagan in the presidential election on November 4, 1980. Although not a surprise, the election result was devastating. Carter won only six states; plus Washington D.C. There are 49 electors for the Democratic incumbent and 489 for the Republican nominee, Ronald Reagan. Carter and his deputy, Walter Mondale, were literally kicked out of the White House, and the entrance of Reagan, the former California governor and actor, was like a triumphal procession. Carter’s term lasted only four years. Reagan would decide the fate of the superpower until 1989.

In retrospect, critics have called the 39th US president’s short reign a failure. There was a lot of anger directed at the Plains peanut farmer for whom the presidency was a very high step.

Jimmy became President of the United States because people had high hopes for a dynamic politician who wanted to establish a new foundation of legitimacy for US policy in the wake of the disaster in Vietnam. There were also positive expectations in the United States for the man from Georgia, who was not a popular politician in Washington. Moreover, Carter, who served as governor for five years, was a relatively unknown name outside his state.

After the Watergate scandal involving President Richard Nixon, many people distrusted the establishment in Washington and were ready to give their votes to an unknown outsider, especially since he had advertised his desire to clean up the US capital. Under his administration, a separate peace was signed between Egypt and Israel, and he attempted to negotiate arms limitations with the USSR. However, the conflict in the Middle East flared up with new force, and Brezhnev sent troops to Afghanistan. Under his rule, Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran. And Carter’s presidential star has sunk. But after the White House, he became very active, founding the Carter Center for Human Rights and mediating international conflicts. Supporters and critics alike believe Carter only rose to prominence after his presidency. Thus, the unfortunate president became a successful and respected former president.
