Jimmy Carter eulogized by Kamala Harris and congressional leaders at Capitol

Jimmy Carter's funeral rites started on Tuesday in Washington with military honor guards, a procession down Pennsylvania Avenue, and a service in the Capitol Rotunda. His funeral continued through Thursday at the National Cathedral, with President Joe Biden delivering the eulogy for his fellow Democrat. Carter will be buried in his Georgia hometown after the service at the National Cathedral. His funeral procession began with military service members carrying his flag-draped casket down the east steps of the U.S. Capitol. President-elect Donald Trump paid his respects to Carter, despite his past criticism of the Georgia Democrat.
To be sure, his presidency was not without its challenges and international crises.
He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism.
Throughout his life he showed us what it means to be a practitioner of good works. Today many think he was from a bygone era, but in reality he saw well into the future.
Jimmy Carter's friendship taught me, and through his life taught me, that strength of character is more than title or the power we hold.
It's the strength to understand that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. That everyone, and I mean everyone, deserves an even shot.
I liked him as a man. I disagreed with his policies. He thought giving away the Panama Canal was a good thing.
It wasn't a perfect program, but thanks to president Carter, US energy consumption declined by 10% between 1979 and 1983. In many ways, he laid the foundation for future presidents to come to grips with climate change. Some thought he was crazy to fight so hard to pass these laws, but he was dead right, and we know that now.
But Trump didn't have that the first term, so this will just be another four years where he doesn't depend on anyone who came before him.
It's the loneliest job in the world, so usually they reach out and rely on each other.
He taught the Bible every Sunday from World War II to Covid.
