President Joe Biden on Sunday issued a proclamation on Carter’s death, ordering American flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days. He also marked Jan. 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning.

On behalf of the nation, to Carter’s family, he said, “We send our whole heartfelt sympathies, in gratitude” for that life of service — both in the Oval Office and in the decades beyond.

In closing, Biden noted, of Carter being laid to rest: “I think he’s happy, and he’s happy with Rosie” — referencing Carter’s beloved late wife Rosalynn Carter, who died one year prior in November 2023.
