From Biden to Clinton: Jimmy Carter’s relationships with his modern successors

Former President Jimmy Carter’s active post-presidency extended to relationships with his seven successors in the White House.

Former President Jimmy Carter’s active post-presidency extended to relationships with his seven successors in the White House. Some of them leaned on his experience and advice, as well as his diplomatic abilities. Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, also used his platform to speak out against some presidents — when he felt it was warranted. Here’s a look at his relationship with some of his successors: President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited with Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter at their home in Plains, Georgia, shortly after taking office in 2021. That April 2021 visit marked their only in-person meeting until the 2023 memorial service for Rosalynn Carter; the Carters did not attend Biden’s inauguration due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “It was great to see President Carter. He reminded me that I was the first person to endorse him outside of Georgia. And we sat and talked about the old days,” Biden told reporters after the visit.
