Jimmy Carter votes for Kamala Harris

Story.

The gap between Carter’s birth and his vote today is the same as the gap between his birthday and the presidency of James Monroe in the other direction. Monroe fought in the Revolutionary War and subsequently studied law under Thomas Jefferson. Curiously, three of the first five presidents died on July 4th (Jefferson and Adams famously both died on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Monroe died five years later to the day).

Carter carried every state of the Old Confederacy in 1976. The past is a different country . . .

I strongly recommend Rick Perlstein’s Reaganland for a rich cultural history of the Carter presidency and the rise of the New Right.
