FILE - In this Sept. 18, 2018 file photo, former President Jimmy Carter answers questions from students during his annual town hall with Emory University freshman in the campus gym in Atlanta. Carter carved an unlikely path to the White House in 1976 and endured humbling defeat after one term. Now, six administrations later, the longest-living chief executive in American history is re-emerging from political obscurity at age 94 to win over his fellow Democrats once again.
Klobuchar is one of at least three presidential hopefuls who’ve ventured to the tiny town of Plains, Georgia, to meet with Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, who is 91. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, also have visited with the Carters, including attending the former president’s Sunday School lesson in Plains.
To be sure, more 2020 candidates have quietly sought counsel from Trump’s predecessor, former President Barack Obama. Several have talked with former President Bill Clinton, who left office in 2001. But those huddles have been more hush-hush, disclosed through aides dishing anonymously. Sessions with Carter, on the other hand, are trumpeted on social media and discussed freely, suggesting an appeal that Obama and Clinton may not have.
He confirms that he voted for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, over Hillary Clinton in Georgia’s 2016 presidential primary. In 2017, Carter welcomed Sanders, who’s running again this year, to the Carter Center for a program in which the two men lambasted money in politics. Carter called the United States “an oligarchy.”
Sorry to say...next.
WTF are you talking about. Is the AP going to report the real scandal about to drop on you?
I be the democrats will start handing out Billy Beer to earn some votes. LOL.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Reagan and watergate were proven true and prosecutions happened. You’re not even comparing apples to apples
444 days.
Second worst potus ever. o-boy 1
Oh Jimmy nooo! How much did they pay you?
Go Jimmy!
Huh?
What did he do in his presidency that was ground breaking and why should anyone take his advice now? You know most 94 year old people are crazy.
He doesn't want to show how to *run* a presidency; he is wanting to show *how to become* president. Even if you say he was a bad president he didn't create a mess like this.
One of the worst presidents ever. No thanks
Political obscurity? Family-run Campaign? I don’t get it
Yeah, one term peanut. I doubt it.
That ain't it chief.
He was in charge of 4 terrible years
Almost like he knew what he was talking about over 40 years ago. 'Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in the ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy.
Worst President in America until Obama usurpe Him! Peanuts!
Jimmy was a staunch supporte of late dictator Hugo Chavez and of the Cuban electoral system - which has elected candidates from the only existing political party in Cuba during the last 60 years .
Carter was a disgrace as a PRESIDENT....
Nice Guy, but WEAK policies.
Oh my God, if your roadmap was his presidency then you folks are scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Let me remind you of those years, gas lines, stagflation, Iran hostages, etc etc.
The worse president ever. Nice man. But his misery index was about 20
Taxpayers are already on the hook to send you a check for life due to the mistake of electing you in the first place.........have some mercy on us and shut up !!!
Poor Jimmy. If he only knew he could have traded weapons to Iran for hostages and be hailed as a hero by the Republican Party, Reagan would never have been elected.
I worked for PresidentCarter in the general but for SargentShriver in the Primary. I was eating breakfast in MS. & noticed three women staring at me. As they were leaving one of the women stopped & said, 'I'm Mrs. Jimmy Carter & I just wanted to say good morning. AmazingMemory
Toppling? Biased media never gives up! Trump 2020!
Nice man, horrible President.
If they are looking at his presidency as an example, they really are in big trouble
WHOA THINGS MUST BE THAT BAD, EH 😳
Not going to happen, Dems need to put up whoever they want to retire from the party.
Jimmy Carter builds homes at 94 while Trump tosses paper rolls at crowds after a disaster.
Jimmy Carter jumps in as the DNC lack leadership. If Jimmy Carter would run Trump could be in serious trouble 😂
I love this guy.
The best thing Carter did was leave office. America was very lucky to have survived the inflation alone. We waited hours to fill the car with gas. AP - try rewriting history further back where no one is alive to challenge your so called journalism
an honest man a real Christian not a liar how refreshing
Carter is a dear man and easily beat an unpopular, mostly incapable Gerald Ford, but his presidency was a disaster. I’m not sure that model will work at all for anyone old enough to remember 19% mortgage rates, gas shortages, and just awful foreign policy, will buy into this play
Are their any good coupons/discounts linked inside the article? I'll click if there are good coupons. I really, really want a Breville coupon.
Honest, nice, guy. Worst president ever.
After WWII, Carter and Eisenhower are the best US presidents. Carter has been especially remarkable after leaving office with his doings for humanity.
This guy was the weakest President ever. I wouldn't take his advice if I was running for the PTA.
LMAO. This man thinks he still is relevant. Is he planning gas rationing and hostage situations that only Reagan could handle?
And the next Democrat on the scene will deliver his results.
is cheering for 'toppling' of the Presidency. Interesting.
Jimmy’s
He's perfect for the Dems as a back stabbing, ungrateful pol.
Who’s “some”? FakeNews
Really 🙄
Wa
Stop
WTH are they talking about 'political obscurity'?!?😑
Biggest weinie as President ever.
its astonishing reading this idiotic article about one of the most idiot politician ever emerged into this universe.
Really? Your best strategic idea against Trump is to resurrect a 40 year old plan that failed? Any Dem would have won in 1980
I just remember hostages, long gas lines, inflation, and general malaise. Why would this one term President have political strategy for a technology run election?
RT : Former President Jimmy Carter is re-emerging from political obscurity at age 94 ...
How politically obscure is a former POTUS? 🤔
This kinda makes it sound like he’s running again too....
BS story. Our first female president Jimmy Carter broke a hip and is laying in a hospital.
Democrats know they are screwed lol. Trump will win by miles.
Yeah and he sucked as a President.
What an inspiration he is
Did the 'some' being referred to live thru Carter's administration? It was a disaster. It's one redeeming factor was that it only lasted 4 years.
Aren’t we seeing the dark side of “family-run” politics?
Yes - if that roadmap includes crippling inflation. JFC - I guess some are too young to remember Jimmy’s gas shortage, sky high interest rates
Really? Trump Derangement Syndrome hitting a new low.
Does he also want to throw his hat in to join the Democratic presidential candidacy announcements?
They are very desperate indeed!
Carter is fifty times the man Trump will ever be but it's not 1976 anymore.
Unsubscribe
Make America slow again.
Another joke
Hahahahaha this is a great fake news article my Sunday morning laugh
Just go away, I barely survived the Jimmy Carter years.
