Is it more than the final sendoff for a long-gone one-term president? With Jimmy Carter's passing, Washington is marking two legacies: that of a peanut farmer-turned-governor of a southern state whose rise to power embodied a backlash after the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal; and that of a leader voted out of the White House after a hostage and energy crisis but whose second act in life made him a moral authority on issues such as peacebuilding, election monitoring and affordable housing.
Carter's funeral comes in the final days before another one-term president leaves office. And just as Carter's loss begat the Reagan years and a backlash against his vision of the social contract between citizens and their government, what does the coming presidency mean at this moment, both for the US and for the world?
Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip.
