Carter, who was diagnosed with liver and brain cancer in 2015, has received palliative care at home for over a year and a half. However, he has been more energetic lately and has shown engagement in the upcoming presidential election, according to family information to the media. The former president has stated that he intends to live long enough to vote for his party colleague Harris.

My grandfather can't wait to vote for Kamala Harris, said grandson and lawyer Jason Carter, who leads the Carter Center, at the Democrats' convention in August.

As president, Carter brokered peace between Israel and Egypt. However, he failed to free the 52 Americans held hostage at the US embassy in Tehran, which likely contributed to his not being re-elected.

In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on democracy issues and human rights.
