Jimmy Carter has accomplished something no other former U.S. president has — he notched a 100th birthday.
Carter, who served one term in the White House, hit the milestone Tuesday at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he has been receiving hospice care for the last 19 months.
“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter said, his grandson, Jason Carter, told The Atlanta Constitution.
A former peanut farmer and Navy veteran, Carter has lived nearly six years longer than another age-defying former president, George H.W.
