Carter said after leaving office that he had underestimated the importance of dealing with Washington power brokers, including the media and lobbying forces anchored in the nation’s capital.

Foreign relations are consuming the White House, defensiveness about entitlement cuts has the GOP backtracking, and Jimmy Carter has entered hospice.

And even though many Republicans - a majority of Republicans in Congress - for years have supported privatizing Medicare and Social Security, they understand the current political peril of that position. So the bottom line is this is a federal problem. RASCOE: I want to turn to domestic stories, specifically the derailment and spill in East Palestine, Ohio. The interstate transport of hazardous materials is a federal problem. And tomorrow, when President Biden is in Poland, he is going to reaffirm U.S. This is a big political headache for the Biden administration. His family said he has chosen to spend his final days at home in hospice care. He's going to say that support is unwavering, that it will last, quote, "as long as it takes." In the U.S., there are many Republicans in Congress who want to cut back on support to Ukraine. First, how steadfast and united the West has been to support Ukraine with weapons, with sanctions against Russia, but also how fragile that unity and resolve could be over time as the war drags on, with no negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in sight. NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson is here to talk about that and more. And here at home, a historic life is winding down where it started, in Plains, Ga.

NPR's Leila Fadel talks to biographer E. Stanly Godbold, Jr. about Jimmy Carter's influence both in and after the White House.

What they did in the post-presidency was exactly the same thing they did as president, except the times were different, and he was free of politics. When they established The Carter Center and later worked with Habitat for Humanity one week out of the year, they were still promoting that theme of peace and human rights. But as scholars dig into the documents and learn what really happened, the facts, the truth about what really happened, his reputation as a president has been going up. At 98 years old, Carter is America's oldest living president, and he has spent much of his life in service, work that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize. And that prize wasn't earned for his time as president but the philanthropic causes he took up after he left public office. President Biden and a slew of other federal officials offered prayers and words of comfort to former President Jimmy Carter after he chose to go into hospice care.

Hospice care aims to provide physical and emotional comfort—not a cure—to patients with serious illness that are nearing the end of their life.

Former US President Jimmy Carter has decided to enter hospice care at the age of 98 instead of further medical interventions. He served as the President ...

He declared a “Carter doctrine”, which said that the Soviets’ attempt to gain control of Afghanistan, and possibly the region, was regarded as a threat to US interests. Carter not only promoted a boycott, but he also embargoed US technology and other goods needed to produce the Olympics. In 1980, Carter pushed further to punish the Soviets. And Carter was prepared to meet the threat with “military force”. Beginning in July 1979, the US was providing advice and non-lethal supplies to the mujahideen rebelling against the Soviet-backed regime. But by 1985, there was a meat shortage in the USSR. The country’s unfavourable weather and climate contributed to successive poor growing seasons, and their heavy industrial development left the agricultural sector underfunded. So the CIA and US allies delivered weapons to the mujahideen, a programme later expanded under Reagan. The CIA flooded the USSR with books and articles to incite human rights activism. The invasion effectively ended an existing détente between the US and USSR. Carter’s grain embargo, although ended by Reagan in 1981, had a lasting impact on livestock feed that resulted in Russian farmers decreasing livestock production. With the counsel of National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Soviet expert, Carter exploited these weaknesses.

Carter taught us how to live a life for others, and, as he approaches his end, he is teaching us how to die with grace.

He expressed his frustration that he hadn’t been able to do more to secure Palestinian rights and noted the pushback he received both domestically and in Israel for his efforts. He also took time to single out for commendation the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed, for his role in building his country and for providing extraordinary assistance to many important health care projects across Africa. He was offended by and apologized about the former, and about the latter he said, “That was you! And I found that I was absolutely and completely at ease with death.” After he lost his reelection bid, in 1980, I wrote Carter a note expressing my disappointment at his defeat and thanking him for his efforts, though incomplete, to achieve a comprehensive Middle East peace. My wife and I, however, were invited to the White House lawn in 1979 to greet Pope John Paul II on his visit to Washington. The public took note of the fact that he carried his own suitcase, engaged in honest, humble, and direct conversations with voters on the campaign trail, and was never shy about acknowledging his Christian faith, though not in a pompous, holier-than-thou manner. Three days after the meeting, I received a tearful call from a White House staffer telling me that I wouldn’t be invited to the follow-up meeting. Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were a breath of fresh air in the White House. During its initial two decades, owing in large measure to Carter’s sponsorship, Habitat became a household name in communities across the US, building over 100,000 low-cost homes for over half a million people in the US and in 60 countries around the world. Using those metrics, I judge Jimmy Carter, far and away, to be the greatest former president of the United States. Historians debate their contributions, reporters examine their records, and the public weighs in with their memories.
