Former President Jimmy Carter arrived at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to lie in state after a memorial service attended by his family, Vice President Kamala Harris, members of Congress and other officials.
Congressional leaders eulogized Carter, the 39th president, praising his work in office, faith and volunteerism.
“Jimmy Carter was that all too rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty and grace,” said Harris, who recalled that she was in middle school when Carter was elected president.
