Honoring the peacemaking president, Gianna Jalosi, Fox News plans are underway for a state sendoff for former President Jimmy Carter, who died over the weekend at the age of 100. January 9th is a national day of mourning, President Biden says, as the nation will pay tribute to former President Jimmy Carter that day at the Washington National Cathedral.
Carter died Sunday at 100 years old, the longest living ex-president ever. Flags are flying at half staff for the next 30 days, and the 39th president is expected to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, as 12 other U.S. presidents have done since Abraham Lincoln.

President-elect Donald Trump and former President Jimmy Carter weren't always fans of each other, with the president-elect recently speaking about undoing Carter's transfer of the Panama Canal to Panama. However, President-elect Donald Trump issuing a statement earlier saying, quote, I just heard the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as president understand this is a very exclusive club.
and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the greatest nation in history. The challenges Jimmy faced as president come at a pivotal time for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Milana and I are thinking warmly of the Carter family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.

Of course, that is worst case scenario, namely for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who can only afford to be in the House.
for it to really lose the support of one Republican. Right now, though, he faces opposition from four to 10. His supporters feel that he will get reelected into speakership despite being weakened by the funding battle earlier this month. Now, some House Republicans have criticized the government funding bill that Speaker Johnson helped negotiate, which does not include a debt ceiling increase that the president-elect suddenly demanded days before the deadline. Despite that, Trump said today that he backs Johnson. The House will vote to elect a speaker Friday, January 15th.
