Jan. 20, 2023: Jimmy Carter dead at 98



Wikipedia Commons

Breaking News. Former President Jimmy Carter has just died at 98 years old. Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Carter won in a close election in 1976 against then President Ford, and then lost to Ronald Reagan in a landslide in 1980. President Carter's tenure as President is overseen by the Iran Hostage Crisis and other crises as well. Carter also served as the Governor of Georgia and is known for being the last President to win in the entirety of the south including in states like Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas in 1976. Bill Clinton won in the south in both 1992 and 1996 but it was nothing like Carter's southern landslide. Carter is also known for the Carter Center which promotes and expands human rights. President Biden and former aides and leaders are also expected to speak at his funeral. Biden was in the Senate during Carter's Presidency.

[Mr.Phips]

Oof, the House

You think this was the result of Dems not pushing back hard enough on the Republicans’ deficit attacks? The Dem line should be “You guys had four years (and eight during Bush) to do something about the deficit, but instead decided to pass tax cuts for the rich and spend money on corporate handouts, foreign aid, and farm subsidies”.  Dems will need to repeat that line over and over and over again.

I hope Haley joins the race. Pence v. Haley would be an awesome primary matchup.
