Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on October 1, becoming the first U.S. president to reach this milestone. He has lived in hospice care for the past 19 months but remains politically active and plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024. Carter, the 39th president, served from 1977 to 1981 and co-founded The Carter Center in 1982. The organization focuses on promoting peace, fighting disease, and supporting democracy worldwide. His life journey began as a farmer's son in Georgia. His grandson, Jason Carter, noted that this time has allowed the family and the public to reflect on Carter's significant contributions. The family views this milestone as a celebration of his impact on many lives.
