Former President Jimmy Carter says he wants to have a good relationship with President Donald Trump. Carter served a single term as president of the United States. The Democratic Party nominated him as its presidential candidate in 1976. He won the election, but lost when he sought reelection four years later. Carter is one of only two presidents in the past 40 years who has served only one term. The other is George H.W. Bush. Carter has lived longer after leaving the White House than any other U.S. president. Trump is the sixth president he has seen take office since the swearing-in of Ronald Reagan in 1981. Carter talks about his Christian beliefs at the Maranatha Baptist Church in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he lives. On a recent Sunday, Carter said he and his family did not want Donald Trump, a Republican, to become president. “We have 22 voters in our family. None of our family voted for him.” Some former and current Democratic lawmakers did not attend Trump’s swearing-in last Friday. President George H.W. Bush was too sick to attend the ceremony. But all the other former presidents, including Jimmy Carter, came to Washington. “I was the only former president for a long time that said he was going! But I felt like we needed to get to know the new president. I think we need to give him support.”
