Although he seemed weak at his wife Rosalynn&#8217;s memorial service last November, Carter is resolute about voting this year. As he approaches his 100th birthday on October 1, he expressed this wish to his son Chip, as relayed by his grandson Jason. &#8220;I\u2019m just trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,&#8221; Carter stated, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday. Jason Carter, a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Georgia, noted that when he spoke with Chip recently, their grandfather appeared &#8220;more alert and engaged in politics and the situation in Gaza.&#8221; Pro-Gaza demonstrators protested outside Rosalynn\u2019s service at Glenn Memorial Church in Atlanta last year, which was attended by President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, along with all living first ladies including Melania Trump. Early voting in Georgia begins on October 15; a state Biden narrowly won over Donald Trump by approximately 12,000 votes. Democrats are hopeful that Harris can replicate Biden\u2019s success within the next few months. The elder Carter has been receiving hospice care since February 2023 in Plains, Georgia after opting out of treatment for an undisclosed terminal illness and has requested Biden deliver a eulogy at his funeral when the time comes.
