“The Carter family requests privacy during this time and is grateful for the support Carter has received,” the organization said.

The Democratic Party Jimmy Carter, full name James Earl Carter junior, served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In addition, he has served as a Georgia state senator and as the governor of Georgia.
After the presidency, Carter has been active in several human rights and charity projects, which the Carter Center also focuses on. In 2002, Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work for peace, democracy and human rights, as well as economic and social development.
