Nearing his 100th birthday and in hospice care since February 2023, the former president Jimmy Carter reportedly has one goal: voting for Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter told his son Chip this week, as his grandson Jason Carter recounted to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Harris, Carter’s fellow Democrat, will face the Republican Trump for the presidency on 5 November. Carter’s 100th birthday will fall on 1 October.

A Democrat who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981, Carter is the oldest living president. In ill health for several years, his family announced that he entered hospice care on 18 February 2023. Many took that announcement to mean Carter was near the end of his life.

    Trump tried to not lower the flag for the officers killed during the insurrection, he tried to not lower the flag when a member of Congress died (McCain) he will try to do the same when Carter dies, if that day comes may every peanut forever sour to his touch. Kidding aside, Carter worked for this country, that can’t be said for the person he refuses to vote for.
