Former US President Jimmy Carter, 98, wanted current incumbent Joe Biden, 80, to be his funeral speaker in the event of his own death. “He asked me to deliver his eulogy,” Biden said Monday night (local time), according to reporters who traveled with him on the sidelines of a California event.
Carter, 98, has been receiving palliative care from his family since mid-February. Carter’s health has deteriorated in recent months, US media reported in February. Carter’s niece, Leanne Smith, said in an interview with Fox News Digital in late February that her uncle still has time.
The Democratic politician from the state of Georgia in the southern United States served as President of the United States from 1977 to 1981 until he was succeeded by Republican Ronald Reagan (1911-2004). He is the oldest living former president. His successors Reagan and George HW Bush (1924-2018) died in 2004 and 2018 respectively. In 2002 Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his international services.
Current President Joe Biden has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Carter. Biden is in close contact with Carter’s family, CNN reported in February. (SDA)
