Washington: The 39th US President Jimmy Carter died on Monday at his home in Georgia at the age of 100. He has been in hospice care since the beginning of 2023. During this time his family members were present. American media provided this information on Monday. Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He also received praise for his honesty and humanitarian efforts. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote democracy and human rights around the world. Carter was born in Plains, Georgia, United States, and rose to the presidency through humility and dedication to public service. Carter, who had an engineering background, was governor of Georgia. He entered the 1976 presidential race as an outsider. He showed his sincerity and made an important promise to the audience. “If I lie to you, if I make any misleading statement, don’t vote for me,” he said. This statement touched the heart of a nation recovering from the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.
Gerald Ford, defeated
Carter’s campaign was publicly funded and focused on transparency. He narrowly defeated incumbent President Gerald Ford. But his presidency was a mixture of victories and experiences. Carter’s influence extended far beyond his presidency. Through the Carter Center, founded in 1982, he has dedicated himself to resolving conflicts, monitoring elections, and eliminating disease in some of the world’s most deprived areas. Jimmy Carter’s humanitarian efforts earned him respect as a world leader.
