The funeral of former president Jimmy Carter featured a eulogy from the late former president Gerald Ford, the Republican he ousted from the presidency in a bitter 1976 race but went on to befriend in the kind of Washington relationship that now seems like a relic of a bygone era.

The Navy will name two future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers for former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Carter was narrowly elected, garnering 50.1 percent of the vote to Ford’s 48, as the president made a late charge to almost overcome a double-digit deficit in the polls. The two presidents had a chilly relationship after that contest.
President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, former presidents and other dignitaries came together Thursday to honor the life of former President Jimmy Carter at a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Thursday concluded six days of national rites that began in Plains, where Carter, a former Naval officer, engineer and peanut farmer, was born in 1924, lived most of his life and died after 22 months in hospice care.
A state funeral is a gathering of the Washington clans, a convocation of the very establishment that Trump has pledged to destroy in his second term. Carter was not a clubbable man and his self-conscious piety was sometimes an irritant for his successors. He was the uneasiest member of the ex-president’s club apart from Trump.
The president-elect sat in the row directly ahead of Mike Pence, who was once the target of a violent mob bent on keeping Trump in power.
Thursday's services capped six days of remembrance for Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. Following the honors in Washington, it was his wish to be buried in his hometown of Plains, next to his beloved wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.
