Harris, a fellow Democrat, is set to face off against Republican incumbent Donald Trump on November 5th. Carter, the oldest living president, will celebrate his centenary on October 1st.

Having served as the President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, Carter has remained engaged in politics despite his declining health in recent years. In February 2023, his family announced that he had entered hospice care, leading many to believe that his life was nearing its end. However, President Joe Biden disclosed in March that Carter's doctors had discovered a breakthrough in his treatment, enabling him to live longer than expected.

As the White House commemorated Carter's 99th birthday in October 2023, Donna Brazile, the former chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, hailed him as a resilient figure in Southern politics. Throughout his 77-year marriage to Rosalynn Carter, the couple tirelessly advocated for human rights and mental health reform. Rosalynn Carter sadly passed away the following month at the age of 96.

Renowned for his efforts to promote democracy, human rights, and peaceful resolutions of international conflicts, Carter was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He once shared that the secret to a long life was choosing the right partner, emphasizing the importance of his enduring marriage to Rosalynn.

In recent days, Carter has shown an increased interest in politics and global events, particularly the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Expressing his desire to vote for Harris, he affirmed his support to his son Chip during a conversation about reaching the milestone of turning 100.

However, due to the timing of early voting in Georgia, which commences on October 15th, Carter may be unable to cast his vote in person on his actual birthday. Nonetheless, his determination to support Harris, who has served as Biden's vice-president, remains unwavering.

As Carter's century milestone approaches, his unwavering passion for politics and commitment to exercising his right to vote serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a dedicated public servant and advocate for democratic values.
