Former President Jimmy Carter is closely watching the presidential election while in hospice care, lamenting it was “sad” to see President Biden bow out of race.
Former President Jimmy Carter is paying close attention to the election cycle while in hospice care and grieving the loss of his wife, Rosalynn Carter, their son revealed in a recent interview.
“He does not believe Donald Trump should be president again”, James Earl “Chip” Carter III, the second child of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, told the last week.
Carter, the longest-lived American president at 99, entered hospice care in February of last year, but he has remained committed to following the presidential election, his son said. Last month, the 39th president watched the speakers of the DNC, who gathered in Chicago in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s presidential campaign.
Carter’s son said the former president believed Harris’ speech was “great”, but noted another speaker stole the show.
“He thought Michelle Obama was the best, and he thought Kamala was great, too”, Chip Carter said.
Before the DNC kicked off last month and Carter diligently watched the speakers, he typically spent his days watching baseball games streamed on his TV, as well as 1950s TV shows, such as “Leave it to Beaver”, and eating mini red velvet and caramel flavored cupcakes, his family told the outlet.
