Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Laureate and Longest-Living US President, Dies at 100

In four-plus decades as an ex-president, Carter waged a worldwide campaign against war, disease and the suppression of human rights

Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Laureate and Longest-Living US President, Dies at 100

Jimmy Carter, the former Georgia peanut farmer who as US president brokered a historic and lasting peace accord between Israel and Egypt in a single term marred by soaring inflation, an oil shortage and Iran's holding of American hostages, has died. He was 100.

Carter died on Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family, the Carter Centre said on Sunday in a statement. Public observances are planned in Atlanta and Washington, followed by a private interment in Plains.

The longest-living former US president ever, Carter had opted in early 2023 to spend his remaining time at his home in Plains receiving hospice care. He was there alongside Rosalynn, his wife of 77 years, when she died in November 2023 at age 96. And he lived long enough to fulfill a final wish—to cast a ballot for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

A Democrat who rose from running his family's peanut-farming and seed-supply businesses to serving as Georgia governor, Carter won the White House in 1976 over incumbent Gerald Ford by promising to bring honesty to an office tainted two years earlier by the resignation of Richard Nixon in the culmination of the Watergate scandal.

Ascetic, humble and deeply religious, Carter was skeptical of the pomp surrounding the presidency and came to Washington with fewer allies and fixed positions than most who hold the job. His allegiance to an inner moral compass, his vow to support societies that "share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights" and his tendency to speak his mind collided at times with political realities during his four years in office, from 1977 to 1981, and served as a preview of what was to come in a service-filled post-presidency that lasted decades.
