Jimmy Carter's 99th Birthday: A Wary Celebration and Global Honors
Jimmy Carter's 99th birthday celebration at his presidential library in Atlanta was rescheduled one day earlier due to the threat of a government shutdown. The library, along with several other presidential libraries, would have closed during a shutdown as they receive federal funding. However, the celebration proceeded with games, cake, and well-wishes from President Biden and others. Despite concerns about the shutdown, a funding measure passed in the House that could keep the government open, allowing the library to potentially remain open for another party the following day.
