ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100 years old. The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, roughly 22 months after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the center said on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections and house the homeless as an example for others. “To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. Biden spoke later Sunday evening about Carter, calling it a “sad day” but one that “brings back an incredible amount of good memories.” “I’ve been hanging out with Jimmy Carter for over 50 years,” Biden said in his remarks. He recalled the former president being a comfort to him and his wife Jill when their son Beau died in 2015 of cancer. The president remarked how cancer was a common bond between their families, with Carter himself having cancer later in his life. “Jimmy knew the ravages of the disease too well,” said Biden, who was ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker, citizen of the world — Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions and stands out among the 45 men who reached the nation’s highest office. The 39th president leveraged his ambition with a keen intellect, deep religious faith and prodigious work ethic, conducting diplomatic missions into his 80s and building houses for the poor well into his 90s. “My faith demands — this is not optional — my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have to try to make a difference,” Carter once said. A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. His no-frills campaign depended on public financing, and his promise not to deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter repeated before narrowly beating Republican incumbent Gerald Ford, who had lost popularity pardoning Nixon. Carter governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role. His most acclaimed achievement in office was a Mideast peace deal that he brokered by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy. Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat to Republican Ronald Reagan. Carter acknowledged in his 2020 “White House Diary” that he could be “micromanaging” and “excessively autocratic,” complicating dealings with Congress and the federal bureaucracy. He also turned a cold shoulder to Washington’s news media and lobbyists, not fully appreciating their influence on his political fortunes. “It didn’t take us long to realize that the underestimation existed, but by that time we were not able to repair the mistake,” Carter told historians in 1982, suggesting that he had “an inherent incompatibility” with Washington insiders. Carter insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term. Ignominious defeat, though, allowed for renewal. The Carters founded The Carter Center in 1982 as a first-of-its-kind base of operations, asserting themselves as international peacemakers and champions of democracy, public health and human rights. “I was not interested in just building a museum or storing my White House records and memorabilia,” Carter wrote in a memoir published after his 90th birthday. “I wanted a place where we could work.” That work included easing nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, helping to avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiating cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, The Carter Center had declared at least 113 elections in Latin America, Asia and Africa to be free or fraudulent. Recently, the center began monitoring U.S. elections as well. Carter’s stubborn self-assuredness and even self-righteousness proved effective once he was unencumbered by the Washington order, sometimes to the point of frustrating his successors . He went “where others are not treading,” he said, to places like Ethiopia, Liberia and North Korea, where he secured the release of an American who had wandered across the border in 2010. “I can say what I like. I can meet whom I want. I can take on projects that please me and reject the ones that don’t,” Carter said. He announced an arms-reduction-for-aid deal with North Korea without clearing the details with Bill Clinton’s White House. He openly criticized President George W. Bush for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also criticized America’s approach to Israel with his 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” And he repeatedly countered U.S. administrations by insisting North Korea should be included in international affairs, a position that most aligned Carter with Republican President Donald Trump. Among the center’s many public health initiatives, Carter vowed to eradicate the guinea worm parasite during his lifetime, and nearly achieved it: Cases dropped from millions in the 1980s to nearly a handful. With hardhats and hammers, the Carters also built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The Nobel committee’s 2002 Peace Prize cites his “untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter should have won it alongside Sadat and Begin in 1978, the chairman added. Carter accepted the recognition saying there was more work to be done. “The world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place,” he said. “The greater ease of travel and communication has not been matched by equal understanding and mutual respect.” Carter’s globetrotting took him to remote villages where he met little “Jimmy Carters,” so named by admiring parents. But he spent most of his days in the same one-story Plains house — expanded and guarded by Secret Service agents — where they lived before he became governor. He regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined and the coronavirus pandemic raged. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world to the small sanctuary where Carter will receive his final send-off after a state funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral. The common assessment that he was a better ex-president than president rankled Carter and his allies. His prolific post-presidency gave him a brand above politics, particularly for Americans too young to witness him in office. But Carter also lived long enough to see biographers and historians reassess his White House years more generously. His record includes the deregulation of key industries, reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign oil, cautious management of the national debt and notable legislation on the environment, education and mental health. He focused on human rights in foreign policy, pressuring dictators to release thousands of political prisoners . He acknowledged America’s historical imperialism, pardoned Vietnam War draft evaders and relinquished control of the Panama Canal. He normalized relations with China. “I am not nominating Jimmy Carter for a place on Mount Rushmore,” Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s domestic policy director, wrote in a 2018 book. “He was not a great president” but also not the “hapless and weak” caricature voters rejected in 1980, Eizenstat said. Rather, Carter was “good and productive” and “delivered results, many of which were realized only after he left office.” Madeleine Albright, a national security staffer for Carter and Clinton’s secretary of state, wrote in Eizenstat’s forward that Carter was “consequential and successful” and expressed hope that “perceptions will continue to evolve” about his presidency. “Our country was lucky to have him as our leader,” said Albright, who died in 2022. Jonathan Alter, who penned a comprehensive Carter biography published in 2020, said in an interview that Carter should be remembered for “an epic American life” spanning from a humble start in a home with no electricity or indoor plumbing through decades on the world stage across two centuries. “He will likely go down as one of the most misunderstood and underestimated figures in American history,” Alter told The Associated Press. James Earl Carter Jr. was born Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains and spent his early years in nearby Archery. His family was a minority in the mostly Black community, decades before the civil rights movement played out at the dawn of Carter’s political career. Carter, who campaigned as a moderate on race relations but governed more progressively, talked often of the influence of his Black caregivers and playmates but also noted his advantages: His land-owning father sat atop Archery’s tenant-farming system and owned a main street grocery. His mother, Lillian , would become a staple of his political campaigns. Seeking to broaden his world beyond Plains and its population of fewer than 1,000 — then and now — Carter won an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. That same year he married Rosalynn Smith, another Plains native, a decision he considered more important than any he made as head of state. She shared his desire to see the world, sacrificing college to support his Navy career. Carter climbed in rank to lieutenant, but then his father was diagnosed with cancer, so the submarine officer set aside his ambitions of admiralty and moved the family back to Plains. His decision angered Rosalynn, even as she dived into the peanut business alongside her husband. Carter again failed to talk with his wife before his first run for office — he later called it “inconceivable” not to have consulted her on such major life decisions — but this time, she was on board. “My wife is much more political,” Carter told the AP in 2021. He won a state Senate seat in 1962 but wasn’t long for the General Assembly and its back-slapping, deal-cutting ways. He ran for governor in 1966 — losing to arch-segregationist Lester Maddox — and then immediately focused on the next campaign. Carter had spoken out against church segregation as a Baptist deacon and opposed racist “Dixiecrats” as a state senator. Yet as a local school board leader in the 1950s he had not pushed to end school segregation even after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, despite his private support for integration. And in 1970, Carter ran for governor again as the more conservative Democrat against Carl Sanders, a wealthy businessman Carter mocked as “Cufflinks Carl.” Sanders never forgave him for anonymous, race-baiting flyers, which Carter disavowed. Ultimately, Carter won his races by attracting both Black voters and culturally conservative whites. Once in office, he was more direct. “I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over,” he declared in his 1971 inaugural address, setting a new standard for Southern governors that landed him on the cover of Time magazine. His statehouse initiatives included environmental protection, boosting rural education and overhauling antiquated executive branch structures. He proclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the slain civil rights leader’s home state. And he decided, as he received presidential candidates in 1972, that they were no more talented than he was. In 1974, he ran Democrats’ national campaign arm. Then he declared his own candidacy for 1976. An Atlanta newspaper responded with the headline: “Jimmy Who?” The Carters and a “Peanut Brigade” of family members and Georgia supporters camped out in Iowa and New Hampshire, establishing both states as presidential proving grounds. His first Senate endorsement: a young first-termer from Delaware named Joe Biden. Yet it was Carter’s ability to navigate America’s complex racial and rural politics that cemented the nomination. He swept the Deep South that November, the last Democrat to do so, as many white Southerners shifted to Republicans in response to civil rights initiatives. A self-declared “born-again Christian,” Carter drew snickers by referring to Scripture in a Playboy magazine interview, saying he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” The remarks gave Ford a new foothold and television comedians pounced — including NBC’s new “Saturday Night Live” show. But voters weary of cynicism in politics found it endearing. Carter chose Minnesota Sen. Walter “Fritz” Mondale as his running mate on a “Grits and Fritz” ticket. In office, he elevated the vice presidency and the first lady’s office. Mondale’s governing partnership was a model for influential successors Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Biden. Rosalynn Carter was one of the most involved presidential spouses in history, welcomed into Cabinet meetings and huddles with lawmakers and top aides. The Carters presided with uncommon informality: He used his nickname “Jimmy” even when taking the oath of office, carried his own luggage and tried to silence the Marine Band’s “Hail to the Chief.” They bought their clothes off the rack. Carter wore a cardigan for a White House address, urging Americans to conserve energy by turning down their thermostats. Amy, the youngest of four children, attended District of Columbia public school. Washington’s social and media elite scorned their style. But the larger concern was that “he hated politics,” according to Eizenstat, leaving him nowhere to turn politically once economic turmoil and foreign policy challenges took their toll. Carter partially deregulated the airline, railroad and trucking industries and established the departments of Education and Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He designated millions of acres of Alaska as national parks or wildlife refuges. He appointed a then-record number of women and nonwhite people to federal posts. He never had a Supreme Court nomination, but he elevated civil rights attorney Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the nation’s second highest court, positioning her for a promotion in 1993. He appointed Paul Volker, the Federal Reserve chairman whose policies would help the economy boom in the 1980s — after Carter left office. He built on Nixon’s opening with China, and though he tolerated autocrats in Asia, pushed Latin America from dictatorships to democracy. But he couldn’t immediately tame inflation or the related energy crisis. And then came Iran. After he admitted the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979 by followers of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Negotiations to free the hostages broke down repeatedly ahead of the failed rescue attempt. The same year, Carter signed SALT II, the new strategic arms treaty with Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union, only to pull it back, impose trade sanctions and order a U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Hoping to instill optimism, he delivered what the media dubbed his “malaise” speech, although he didn’t use that word. He declared the nation was suffering “a crisis of confidence.” By then, many Americans had lost confidence in the president, not themselves. Carter campaigned sparingly for reelection because of the hostage crisis, instead sending Rosalynn as Sen. Edward M. Kennedy challenged him for the Democratic nomination. Carter famously said he’d “kick his ass,” but was hobbled by Kennedy as Reagan rallied a broad coalition with “make America great again” appeals and asking voters whether they were “better off than you were four years ago.” Reagan further capitalized on Carter’s lecturing tone, eviscerating him in their lone fall debate with the quip: “There you go again.” Carter lost all but six states and Republicans rolled to a new Senate majority. Carter successfully negotiated the hostages’ freedom after the election, but in one final, bitter turn of events, Tehran waited until hours after Carter left office to let them walk free. At 56, Carter returned to Georgia with “no idea what I would do with the rest of my life.” Four decades after launching The Carter Center, he still talked of unfinished business. “I thought when we got into politics we would have resolved everything,” Carter told the AP in 2021. “But it’s turned out to be much more long-lasting and insidious than I had thought it was. I think in general, the world itself is much more divided than in previous years.” Still, he affirmed what he said when he underwent treatment for a cancer diagnosis in his 10th decade of life. “I’m perfectly at ease with whatever comes,” he said in 2015 . “I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” Sanz is a former Associated Press reporter.Trump selects longtime adviser Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and RussiaNone

Longtime evening news anchor Colleen Williams has written a letter to area newspapers, discussing her career and her departure from NTV. She last appeared on area television screens Nov. 1. "I want to start with an apology. I am so sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye. I want everyone to know how much I have appreciated being part of your lives. It was such an honor to bring you the evening news for all these years," Williams wrote. Williams' two stints at NTV totaled almost 23 years. She worked at the station from 1997 to 1999, and from December of 2003 until this month. "I arrived in Nebraska in 1997 as a 23-year-old with short blonde hair, excited about her first big anchor job. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes from the very beginning. Not for one moment do I take that for granted," she wrote. Colleen Williams and Greg Kealey are shown anchoring the news in 1997. "I consider myself so fortunate to have had a career I thoroughly enjoyed. I was going to say I have no regrets, but I am sad that we didn’t get to say goodbye in the traditional way." It is believed that she and Seth Denney formed the longest-running anchor team in Nebraska history. Denney retired in 2021. For many years, Williams and Denney worked with chief forecaster Kent Boughton and sports director Dave Griek. "The feedback the news team received was always so positive," Williams wrote. "When someone would say 'You guys are like family' I always thought I feel the same way. You always felt like family to me, too. I kept waiting to be told Seth, Kent, Dave and I needed to stop having so much fun on the air. But that never happened. Later the good times on the anchor desk continued with Tim and Darren. It seemed the more fun we had, the more people enjoyed watching. Because of your support and loyal viewership, we all felt completely comfortable with just being ourselves." Williams lived in New York for four years. Her husband, Chris Schukei, was music coordinator on "Late Night with David Letterman," working with Paul Shaffer and his band. While living in New York, Williams did television work and worked as an extra, appearing in "The Sopranos" and "Stuart Little 2." "I find myself thinking back to all the things we have experienced together over the past 27 years," Williams wrote. "I was living in New York on September 11th, 2001, and phoned the station to give a live interview after the second tower fell. ... I had the joy of being pregnant on-air, morning sickness during commercial breaks, donning an Ord football helmet to take cover from a tornado, ice storms, snowed in at the station, the moving of the archway, live at the State Fair ... this list really could go on and on ... At the Nebraska State Fair, four longtime co-workers share a smile. From left are Kent Boughton, Colleen Williams, Seth Denney and Steve White. "Then there are the changes in technology," she wrote. "I can still remember the technical director writing “W. W. W. dot ...” so I could announce a web address correctly. To go live, we needed a satellite truck. Now a cellphone does it all. The switch from analog to digital and now streaming. The idea that my goodbye is reaching you through your hometown paper feels so wonderfully full circle." Born in Iowa, Williams spent much of her childhood in Missouri. She also lived in Kansas. Colleen Williams is her maiden name. "The news team had so many good times together. Kent was the biggest practical joker. Dave was the easiest mark, and Seth was always cracking us up. You’ve seen us celebrate marriages, birth of children, changing hairstyles (!!), the graying of hair, the now need for readers ... I’ve spent nearly half my life here on the on-air and (hopefully) on your television set. "I’m now close to celebrating 25 years of marriage ... my oldest son is a sophomore in college and my youngest is a freshman in high school," she wrote. "There’s been difficult times; the passing of Bob Geiger, Kent’s accident and later losing his wife Lori, Seth losing his father, Doyle, I went through several miscarriages, had a scare with breast cancer ... all the things life throws your way ... and you helped all of us get through it. "In 2021, I had the best time putting together the 'Seth Denney Retirement Special.' I was able to spend months finding co-workers, dignitaries Seth interviewed, I even tracked down his track coach from McCook. This special is posted on YouTube if you’d like to take another trip down memory lane. Seth Denney's final newscast at NTV was in 2021. From left are Kent Boughton, Colleen Williams, Seth Denney and Dave Griek. "Had I had my own goodbye special," it would have included some of the memories Williams shared in her letter. She began a series called "The Road Less Traveled" when she returned to Nebraska. On the air, she drew the names of area towns from a fishbowl. The series lasted for more than five years. "'The Road Less Traveled' was such a blessing. The very first town we drew from the bowl was Reamsville, Kansas, population 1! The decision was made to visit on a Sunday for a special potluck celebration at the church. Someone told me the volunteer custodian who only had use of one arm had stayed up most of the night to make sure the sanctuary was camera ready. I can’t even articulate how deeply that moved me." "I made many special friends on 'The Road Less Traveled.' Like Ora Ruettimann, from Hamlet in Hayes County. Population 57. After conducting interviews, Ora invited cameraman Jared Gaedke and me back to her home for tea and cookies. She reminded me so much of my grandma, and I loved her right away. She told us we could come back anytime we were in the neighborhood. "Well, little did Ora Ruettimann know we would take her up on the offer. You see, 'The Road Less Traveled' took us on a lot of roads, through a lot of places, and this pregnant reporter soon discovered rest stops were few and far between. So anytime we were even close to Hayes County, we would pop in, usually with no advance notice, and Ora would throw open her door and welcome us in. She’d send us off with a treat and a hug, then we’d make a promise to see each other again soon. "Time passed as it tends to do, 'The Road Less Traveled' had reached its end, and in 2010 I received an e-mail, which I still have. 'Hi Colleen, I know on your "Road Less Traveled" trips to southwest Nebraska you met a wonderful woman by the name of Ora Ruettimann ...' The person was writing to tell me Ora had died. "I knew Ora’s daughter Jo worked at the Wauneta Breeze newspaper. I dialed the number right away. I identified myself and said, 'Jo! I am so sorry to hear about Ora.' I will never forget Jo’s response. 'Oh, Colleen. All I can think is I wish I could call my mom so I could tell her you called. She would be so happy to know you were thinking of her.'” "Of all I was able to experience and accomplish, I think it’s the personal connections I’ll hold most dear," Williams wrote. Over the years, Williams has received hundreds of letters. She has kept them all. NTV covered the Hastings Celebration of Lights in 2017. Pictured are Kent Boughton, Stephanie Crace, Seth Denney, Steve White, Colleen Williams and Dave Griek. "I LIVED for putting good news out into the world," she wrote. "I’d like to share a time when viewers made a profound impact on my life. Last month, I was going through storage and found a sweater my dad knit by hand ... my dad would have been so amused I was wearing it, and I wished I could tell him. I decided to share the story on my work Facebook page along the reminder to never miss a moment to connect with loved ones," she wrote. "I thought that would be the end of it. And then, I received the most precious gift. I have tears as I type this. People commented (and I’m assuming they must be knitters themselves) on what a talented person my dad was to have created such a sweater. They commented what a tricky pattern it was, that the colorwork was fabulous and he did a fine job constructing it. Through these comments I was able to learn something about my dad. He was a talented knitter. His hands were skillful. I didn’t know that. It never once had crossed my mind. It was always just ‘the sweater my dad knit.’ Do you know how amazing it is to discover something new about someone who is gone? It’s like a beautiful footnote added to his story, when I thought every page had already been written. "So, when I say that you have meant something to me, even if we haven’t ever met in person, I mean it," Williams wrote. "I have had the extreme blessing of working with so many talented people. I’m so grateful to all the co-workers who made work so enjoyable. You all have a place in my heart. "There are a few others who didn’t get the A-list sendoff as well. First, Dave Griek. Dave was an amazing partner and friend. I enjoyed you and our time together tremendously. "Sara Kirkley, you took such pride in your work and will always be one of the hardest-working people I know. "To all the members of the production team who also had their last day on 9-8-2024, Razer, Kendra, Kolton with your stomach of steel, Corey, Joe and Laura, thanks for everything, and I wish I could have given you a ticker-tape farewell. "To all of you who let me come into your homes all these nights over the past two decades, it doesn’t have to be goodbye for good," she wrote. "I plan to keep my Facebook page and YouTube channel now called 'Colleen Williams presents.' Find me there! I just set up a new phone number 402-834-1307 for anyone who wants to leave a voicemail sharing what the news team has meant to you. This is a step I feel I missed for healing and closure. "If you see me out and about, please say hi. Don’t be alarmed when I act like we are already friends. Because here’s a confession. It’s not an act. We are friends, we just haven’t officially met yet. And you have always, always mattered to me. "With a heart full of gratitude and appreciation, 'Have a great night!' and I’ll see you soon," she concluded. Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter.
