Former President Jimmy Carter's casket has arrived at the US Capitol in a horse-drawn caisson. The late president will be carried into the Rotunda where members of Congress and other dignitaries will pay their respects. The service, scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. ET, will feature eulogies from Majority Leader John Thune, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Following the service, Carter's casket will lie in state until Thursday, allowing the public to pay their respects to the former president. This tradition of lying in state is a way for the nation to honor and remember the contributions of a former leader.
