Jimmy Carter Is ‘Only Trying To Make It To Vote For Kamala Harris,' Says Family
HuffPost
The former president was in May reported to be "coming to the end" but has recently reportedly been "more alert and interested in politics."
Former President Jimmy Carter’s son, Chip Carter, last week reportedly asked his father if he was trying to make it to his 100th birthday on Oct. 1.
“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter, who has been in hospice care since February 2023, reportedly replied, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Carter’s grandson, former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jason Carter, relayed the comment to the newspaper.
In May, Jason Carter, the chair of The Carter Center, said his grandfather was “doing ok” but “coming to the end.” But Carter, who served one term as U.S. president from 1977 to 1981, has recently been “more alert and interested in politics and the war in Gaza,” per the Journal-Constitution’s report.
In just the last month alone, there was an assassination attempt on Trump, Joe Biden quit his reelection campaign and Harris sealed the Democratic nomination amid bumper fundraising figures.
Early voting begins in Georgia on Oct. 15, some two weeks after Carter’s landmark birthday. The election is on Nov. 5.
