Biden says Carter asked him to deliver his eulogy - CNN

“He asked me to do his eulogy – excuse me, I shouldn’t say that,” Biden told supporters during remarks at a fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe, California, according to a pool report.

His health woes forced him to give up his decadeslong tradition of teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

“After a series of short hospital stays, former US President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.

He has the full support of his family and his medical team,” the center, which Carter founded along with his wife, Rosalynn, in hopes of advancing world peace and health, said at the time.

CNN reported last month that Biden had been advised of the former president’s declining health and his decision to seek hospice care.

The nation’s 39th president has kept a low public profile in recent years due to the coronavirus pandemic but has continued to speak out about risks to democracy around the world, a longtime cause of his.
