Carter's single White House term still stirs controversy after more than 40 years
Briefly

Jimmy Carter's rapid rise in national politics, from a little-known Georgia governor to president-elect in just two years, highlights his extraordinary ability to connect with voters.
His determination and strategic campaigning, bolstered by personal interactions during a 37-state tour, allowed him to win Iowa and New Hampshire, ultimately leading to his presidential nomination.
Despite facing numerous challenges during his presidency, including inflation and energy shortages, Carter's post-presidency activism in human rights and peace earned him global acclaim.
Carter's legacy as a former president who lived a full century represents both a significant political journey and a lifelong commitment to humanitarian efforts and advocacy.
