(The Hill) — Former President Jimmy Carter says he hopes to cast his ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
As Carter nears his 100th birthday, beating former President Trump is one of the only things on his mind.
“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter told his son Chip, his grandson Jason Carter told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Carter’s 100th birthday is on Oct. 1. He first entered hospice care in Feb. 2023 and has outlived his wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died last November.
Jason Carter said his grandfather has been “more alert and interested in politics and the war in Gaza” in recent days. He previously updated the public in June that Carter was no longer awake every day.
