One of the first calls Obama made after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 was to George W. Bush to spread the word that the mission had been accomplished, said Kate Andersen Brower, author of “Team of Five: The Presidents Club in the Age of Trump.”

Three days after the Jan. 6 anniversary, with its indelible images of costumed rioters running amok in the Capitol, former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral service in the National Cathedral presented a historical picture of a different kind, one that spoke not of upended norms, but of preservation and strength.

Harris deliberately averted eye contact with Trump, in a sign of disdain. The tension of her facial expression, with pursed lips tightened toward the center showed there was "no love lost" between the two 2024 contenders.

President-elect Donald Trump paid his respects to former President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday at the Capitol Rotunda.

Following the D.C. service and flight to Georgia, Carter’s body will be driven to his hometown of Plains for a private funeral and a procession through downtown Plains, according to organizers. Carter, who served as president from 1977 to 1981, will then be buried next to his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who died in November 2023.

Relationships rooted in politics are always complicated, but this one is a knotted web of loyalty, competition, ambition and loss.

Donald Trump shook hands with Mike Pence at Jimmy Carter's state funeral -- a notable exchange as the two men have not interacted publicly in years.

The handshake happened almost four years to the day when Trump supporters called for Pence's execution during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

When Joe Biden eulogized Jimmy Carter today in the majestic surroundings of Washington National Cathedral today, he said of his predecessor, “Many think he was from a bygone era, but he saw into the future.

The tension between the Trumps and Pences was fueled by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, when then-President Trump took to X, accusing his vice president of lacking “the courage” to do as he was told and refuse to certify the electoral college votes.

The two men were seated next to each other at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., talking before Carter’s funeral officially started. Trump leaned in to say something to Obama, who listened before laughing and smiling as Trump continued to speak into Obama’s ear.
