Former President Jimmy Carter, who is approaching his milestone 100th birthday this fall, has expressed his determination to hold on in order to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Carter, who has been receiving hospice care for over a year and was diagnosed with cancer in 2015, told his family that he is determined to make it to the polls to vote for Kamala Harris. Despite his health challenges, Carter remains committed to fulfilling his civic duty and has already voted in the Georgia primary earlier this year. His grandson, Jason Carter, emphasized how important voting is to his grandfather, stating that it is a reflection of the person that Carter is. Representatives from the Carter Center in Atlanta have not yet commented on Carter’s plans to vote in the presidential election. With his unwavering dedication to participate in the electoral process, Carter’s determination serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of voting and civic engagement.
