Former President Jimmy Carter is currently in hospice care —but President Biden is already talking about giving the eulogy at his funeral.
According to a Fox News report, while speaking at a fundraising event in Rancho Santa Fe, California, President Joe Biden revealed that former President Jimmy Carter has asked him to deliver the eulogy at his funeral.
“He asked me to do his eulogy – excuse me, I shouldn’t say that,” Biden said.
“I spent time with Jimmy Carter, and it’s finally caught up with him. But they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they found a breakthrough,” Biden told the crowd.
From Fox News:
The comments came as Biden was discussing breakthroughs in cancer treatment and urging the dozens of people in the room to increase funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an initiative Biden created last year to improve the government’s ability to speed biomedical and health research.
Last year, Biden introduced ARPA-H as an initiative that “will pursue ideas that break the mold on how we normally support fundamental research and commercial products in this country.”
It would pursue “ideas so bold no one else, not even the private sector, is willing to give them a chance or to sink a lot of money into trying to solve,” he said at the time, according to its website.
