This was a ceremonious week in Washington, with the certification of the electoral votes and the honoring of the late former President Jimmy Carter at his state funeral — where there also seemed to be some presidential snubbing of sorts of the president-elect.

As the 39th president is eulogized at Washington National Cathedral, Biden tells mourners his long-ago predecessor “taught me ... the strength of character.”

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.

The former president will be buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, following a private service at the church where he taught Sunday school.
