Ga.’s Jimmy Carter ‘ready to turn the page’ on Trump, grandson says

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Former President Jimmy Carter is looking forward to “turning the page on Donald Trump” in the election, his grandson said

The former president, who’s been in hospice care since February 2023, is excited to cast his absentee ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, Jason Carter told reporters on the red carpet at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, which hosted “Delta Air Lines Presents: Jimmy Carter 100: A Celebration in Song” to honor the former president ahead of his 100th birthday.

“It would be an incredible story at the end of his hundred-year life, that is continuing on, as we know, to have grown up in the segregated South, and for one of his last political acts to be helping elect a Black woman as the president, I do think it would be important,” Jason Carter said. “But I also think he wants to see this country brought back together. I think he wants to reduce that polarization. I think he wants us to focus on the things that make us Americans first, and fundamentally, and I think that he thinks she can do that.”
