However, those who have recently witnessed the former president have pondered if Carter is even in the right frame of mind to be voting in the 2024 election, describing him as looking decrepit and out of it while being wheeled around with his eyes closed and mouth open.
The 39th president filled out a mail-in ballot that was dropped off at the Sumter County Courthouse in Americus, near Carter’s hometown of Plains, by his daughter-in-law Becky Payne.
“I think he feels good,” the former president’s son, Chip Carter, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It was a good morning for him and good for us that he got it done.”
The Carter Center declined to specify whom the former president voted for, citing the principle of the secret ballot.
However, Chip was still adamant that his dad “absolutely” backed Harris and he told the outlet that his father “never voted for a Republican in his life.” Former President Carter has also had a longtime friendship with President Joe Biden, Harris’ current boss.
On October 1st, he became the first former president to make it to 100-years-old. Jimmy is currently under hospice care, and has been since February of 2023.
Chip previously claimed that his father had confided in him, saying that “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris.”
Additionally, the former president’s grandson, Jason Carter, said during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August that his grandfather “cannot wait to vote” and said that Harris “carries my grandfather’s legacy.”
The former president was spotted in public on his 100th birthday for the first time in months, surrounded by his family in his special wheelchair while watching a flyover of four Navy F-18 jets.
According to the latest numbers from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, early voting in the Peach State began on Tuesday with more than 300,000 ballots cast.
