President Jimmy Carter's life was honored Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral, marking the conclusion of the six-day state funeral. The service was attended by a plethora of world leaders and lawmakers, featuring speeches from his family, former colleagues and President Joe Biden, marking one of his last public appearances after he leaves office on Jan. 20.
Biden started his speech by reflecting on his April 2021 meeting with the Carters in Plains, Georgia, the former president's home. The President said he and Carter discussed their "deep friendship" which spanned over six decades. Biden was one of the first senators to endorse Carter's run for the White House.
