In a historic moment, all five living United States presidents will gather in Washington D.C. to attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. The event, set to take place at the National Cathedral, will bring together Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump to pay their respects to the 39th President.
Carter passed away at the age of 100, leaving behind a legacy of humanitarian efforts and political achievements. The gathering of the five presidents is a rare display of unity and bipartisanship in a time of division and polarization in the country.
President Biden, who considered Carter a mentor, will deliver a eulogy at the service, highlighting Carter's dedication to public service and his commitment to peace and diplomacy.
The funeral is expected to be a solemn and poignant moment, as the nation's leaders come together to honor a man who dedicated his life to serving his country. The presence of all five living presidents serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and cooperation in times of mourning and reflection.
