Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on Tuesday the first-ever US president to reach the century mark and another extraordinary milestone for the one-time peanut farmer who found his way to the White House.
Jimmy Carters longevity he began hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia, more than 19 months ago has defied all expectations.
No longer regularly appearing in public, the Democratic ex-president will spend his birthday in the home he and his late wife Rosalynn had built in Plains in the 1960s.
It will include a lunch with some 20 members of his extended family, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
President Joe Biden, in a video posted on his official X account, hailed Carter as a beloved friend and one of the most influential statesmen in US history.
