And this is the world now.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died aged 100.
James Earl Carter Jr., who served as the 39th U.S. president from 1977 to 1981 passed away peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia on Sunday afternoon, local time surrounded by his family, according to the Carter Center.
He had reportedly been receiving hospice care at his home for health issues, including melanoma that spread to his brain and liver.
At age 100, Carter was the longest-lived former president in U.S. history.
Incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden paid tribute to Carter, describing him as “a man of principle, faith, and humility,” while President-elect Donald Trump said “we all owe him a debt of gratitude.”
Jimmy Carter, a Georgia-born peanut farmer, won the presidency in 1976 with the promise of transparency amid the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War.
He was also awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
