‘I miss him’: Biden honours Jimmy Carter with eulogy at funeral

Jimmy Carter, who considered himself an outsider even as he sat in the Oval Office as the 39th U.S. president, was honoured Thursday with the pageantry of a funeral at Washington National Cathedral before a second service and burial in his Georgia hometown. President Joe Biden, who was the first sitting senator to endorse Carter’s 1976 campaign, eulogized his fellow Democrat a little more than a week before he leaves office.
