Jimmy Carter's funeral

President Jimmy Carter's funeral in Washington, D.C. on Thursday took place just days before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th. During the event, Trump came face-to-face with his former Vice President, Mike Pence, and the two exchanged an awkward handshake - the tension in the air very clear to others attending the funeral.

Jimmy Carter's funeral ceremony was also attended by several former vice presidents. Although Donald Trump and Barack Obama seemed to be engaged in a fun conversation, interactions between some of the attendees, including Harris, Trump, and Biden, remained notably limited.

President-elect JD Vance, along with former Vice Presidents Pence, Dan Quayle, and Al Gore, were also present at the funeral service.

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29 at the age of 100, at his home in Plains, Georgia.
