House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a eulogy for former President Jimmy Carter at a funeral service at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. He reflected on Carter's roots in Georgia, his Naval service, his presidency and his life after.

At a pomp-filled state funeral, mourners paid tribute to Mr. Carter and argued that he was a more successful leader than many remember. “It’s time to redeem his presidency,” a former aide said.

Jimmy Carter, a U.S. president who served only one term but was widely admired for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House, was remembered during his state funeral on Thursday as a man who put honesty and kindness above partisan politics.

Jimmy Carter has been remembered at his funeral as a man of “character” and “something of a miracle” with “prophetic” vision.
