Vice President Kamala Harris, Vice President (in wait) JD Vance, former vice presidents Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Dan Quayle will be in attendance as well.
Carter passed away at the age of 100.
He was a one term president who fought thought Republican obstruction, hyperpartisan gridlock, inflation, Israel, the Iranian hostage crisis and Christian nationalism. White supremacists were on the rise during his term.
