Former US President Jimmy Carter is currently lying in state in the US Capitol Rotunda in Washington.

The Georgia Democrat and 39th president died 29th December at the age of 100. Carter served as president from 1977-81, winning office as an outsider in the wake of the Vietnam War and Watergate.

An official state funeral will be held for the late President in Washington, DC on 9th January, with President Joe Biden set to deliver a eulogy for Carter, whom he had called a “beloved friend”.

Tributes have poured in from presidents, world leaders and many everyday people from around the world, who admired not only Carter’s four-year service in the White House but his four decades of efforts since leaving office to fight disease, broker peace and provide for the poor.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Amber Roessner, Professor from the School of Journalism & Electronic Media at University of Tennessee, who had previously interviewed Jimmy Carter and wrote a book about him, and Charles S Bullock III, Richard B. Russell Chair in Political Science & Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor & University Professor of Public and International Affairs at University of Georgia share their perspectives.
