Vice President Kamala Harris paid tribute to former President Jimmy Carter following his passing on Sunday, describing his life as 'a testament to the power of service.' In a statement, Harris highlighted Carter's deep faith in God, America, and humanity, emphasizing his belief in the strength of decency and compassion.
Having known President Carter for years, Harris expressed gratitude for his kindness, wisdom, and profound grace. She noted that his life and legacy serve as a continued source of inspiration, not only for her but for future generations as well.
Jason Carter, the grandson of the late president, shared earlier this year that Jimmy Carter had hoped to live long enough to vote for Harris in the presidential election. Despite his failing health, Carter managed to cast his ballot for the Democratic nominee via mail, ultimately witnessing her defeat to President-elect Donald Trump in November.
