Former President Jimmy Carter has been in hospice for 18 months, and his legion of fans are hoping that he will live to see his 100th birthday on October 1.
Jimmy Carter is a humble man, and he doesn’t care too much about celebrating his 100th birthday, but he has told his friends and family that he wants to live long enough to see Kamala Harris win.
According to his eldest grandchild Jason Carter the former president is excited about politics again since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris.
If a 99-year-old man, who is confined to a wheelchair, and may have only days left to live is excited about the candidacy of Harris, how much more should we be enthused?
Most of us have decades left in our odometer, and we should be doing everything we can to make sure that Harris wins, and thereby preserve democracy for the benefit of our children and grandchildren.
I am as excited as Carter about the ascendancy of Harris, and I am doing everything I can to make sure she wins, and that means writing essays and letters to the editor, planting a Harris for President sign in my front yard, and reminding everyone to vote for her.
