Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was honored with the pageantry of a funeral in the nation’s capital. Thursday’s events conclude six days of national funeral rites for the 39th president who died Dec. 29 at the age of 100. All of Carter’s living successors attended the Washington funeral, including President-elect Donald Trump. President Joe Biden, who was the first sitting senator to endorse Carter’s 1976 campaign, eulogized his fellow Democrat 11 days before he leaves office. At the cathedral, Ted Mondale, son of Walter Mondale, Carter’s vice president, read a eulogy his father wrote for Carter before his own death in 2021. Steve Ford, the grandson of President Gerald Ford, read a tribute from his grandfather, who died in 2006. Carter defeated Ford in 1976 but the pair, and their first ladies, became close friends, and Carter eulogized Ford at his funeral. Mourners also heard from Stu Eizenstat, who was a top White House staffer for Carter, and 92-year-old Andrew Young, a former Atlanta mayor, congressman and U.N. ambassador during the Carter administration. Carter outlived much of his Cabinet and inner circle, but remained especially close to Young — a friendship that brought together a white Georgian and Black Georgian who grew up in the era of Jim Crow segregation. Music — sacred, patriotic and popular — featured prominently throughout the day for the evangelical president who campaigned with the Allman Brothers Band, befriended Willie Nelson and quoted Bob Dylan in his 1977 inaugural address. After the morning service in Washington, Carter’s remains, his four children and extended family will return to Georgia on a Boeing 747 that serves as Air Force One when the sitting president is aboard.
