Kamala Harris Delivers Moving Eulogy For Jimmy Carter, Whose Dying Wish Was To Vote For Her

Harris remembered the late president's "humility, modesty and grace" in a speech at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday.

Two months after President Jimmy Carter fulfilled his final wish of voting for Kamala Harris, Harris delivered a moving eulogy for the former commander in chief.

The vice president paid tribute to Carter during his lying in state ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, in a speech remembering the late leader’s sincerity and dedication to serving others.

“Jimmy Carter was that all too rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty and grace,” she said of the politician, who died at the age of 100 in late December.

Harris celebrated Carter as a “president who was ahead of his time,” as she remarked on his commitment to the environment, public education, international diplomacy, human rights and more.

“Throughout his life and career, Jimmy Carter retained a fundamental decency and humility,” the vice president said.
