President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit the 39th president, Jimmy Carter, and his wife Rosalynn in Georgia this week, AP reports.
The big picture: Biden was already set to attend a drive-in rally in Atlanta on Thursday in honor of his 100th day in office. The Bidens have now included a trip to Plains, Georgia, to see the Carters, who missed Biden's inauguration due to the pandemic.
- The 96-year-old former president remains an outspoken figure in politics. In March, he criticized his home state for passing sweeping voting restrictions.
- As a young senator, Biden was an ally during Carter's presidency from 1977 to 1981. Carter is currently the longest-lived U.S. president in history, according to AP.
- The Carters resumed going to church after receiving their COVID-19 vaccines in February.
