Here’s how the news is developing.

Biden recalls Carter’s ‘strength of character’

After wiping his eyes during “Amazing Grace,” President Joe Biden stepped up to the podium to recall his friendship with former President Jimmy Carter.

“Jimmy Carter’s friendship taught me … strength of character is more than the title or power we hold. It’s the strength to understand that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect. That everyone — and I mean everyone deserves an even shot,” Biden said.

“We have an obligation to give hate no safe harbor and to stand up to — [what] my dad said, the greatest sin of all — the abuse of power,” Biden said, as all of the former presidents looked on. “It’s not about being perfect, none of us are perfect. We’re all fallible.”

“Jimmy Carter, throughout his life, he showed us what it means to be a practitioner of good works and a good and faithful servant of God, and of the people,” Biden said.

Some may think Carter is from a “bygone era,” but Carter “saw well into the future,” Biden said.

To anyone in search of meaning and purpose, Biden said, “study the power of Jimmy Carter’s example.”

“I miss him, but I take solace in knowing that he and his beloved Rosalynn are reunited again,” he said.
