Jimmy Carter, the 39th U.S. President and longest-living president in American history, died at age 100. He passed away after spending nearly two years in hospice care. 

A former Georgia governor and peanut farmer, Carter served one term as president from 1977 to 1981. While his presidency was marked by challenges including the Iran hostage crisis and economic struggles, his post-presidential work through the Carter Center and humanitarian efforts, including his work with Habitat for Humanity, earned him widespread respect and a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. 

His major achievements as president included the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel and establishing the Departments of Energy and Education. Carter’s death comes just months after losing his wife Rosalynn, who died in November 2023 at age 96. He is survived by his four children and multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
