All 5 living presidents, lawmakers, in attendance at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in Washington D.C.

Following the death of former President Jimmy Carter at 100, tributes poured in from all five living U.S. presidents, honoring his extraordinary life and legacy.

Carter, a Georgia peanut farmer turned governor and president, said he came to Washington to bring “competent and compassionate” government to the White House. His post-presidency work further cemented his legacy as a humanitarian and advocate for peace.

Former President Bill Clinton recalled meeting Carter in 1975 as an early supporter of his campaign. “Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others – until the very end,” Clinton said. He praised Carter’s record on civil rights, environmental protections, and global peace efforts such as the Camp David Accords.

George W. Bush remembered Carter as a man of “deeply held convictions” who was devoted to his family, community, and country and whose charitable work will “set an example of service that will inspire Americans for generations,” Bush said.

Barack Obama highlighted Carter’s integrity
and quoted from his Nobel Peace Prize speech: “We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace.” Obama added, “He didn’t just profess these values—he embodied them.”

Former and now President-elect Trump posted on Truth Social that while he “disagreed with [Carter] philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for. He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect.”

President Joe Biden described Carter as a man of “character, courage, hope, and optimism,” noting that Carter and his late wife, Rosalynn, represented the “definition of partnership and patriotism.”
