Former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100, had a notable relationship with his successors in the White House. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited the Carters at their home in Plains, Georgia, shortly after taking office in 2021. Biden, who was the first US senator to endorse Carter in his 1976 presidential bid, shared fond memories of their meeting and celebrated Carter's 100th birthday in 2024.

Carter maintained communication with Donald Trump during his presidency, offering insights on various issues. However, their relationship soured over time, with Carter criticizing Trump's decisions on Russian interference in the 2016 election and funding for the World Health Organization. Trump, in turn, referred to Carter as a 'nice man' but criticized his presidency during a G20 Summit news conference.
