Jimmy Carter celebrates 100th birthday as first US president to reach centennial milestone

Jimmy Carter is set to celebrate his 100th birthday on October 1, becoming the first U.S. president to reach this milestone. The event will take place in Plains, Georgia, where he has lived since his presidency. Carter, who has been in hospice care for over 19 months, will spend his birthday at home with family. The celebration includes a military flyover and a concert at his former high school, which now serves as a visitors center. Tributes have begun, with President Joe Biden recognizing Carter's impact as a moral leader. Despite his declining public appearances, Carter remains politically active and plans to vote in the upcoming election.
