Live coverage: Biden honors Carter, as Trump, former presidents gather for funeral
The nation paid its respects to former President Carter on Thursday, with five presidents gathered at Washington National Cathedral for his funeral service.
President-elect Trump joined by President Biden, who eulogized Carter, and three other former presidents at the service. Trump sat next to former President Obama, where the two engaged in extensive conversation before the service started.
Biden declared Thursday a national day of mourning, meaning federal offices, banks, the stock market and the Postal Service are closed.
The day's events are a pause in a week that has included jockeying among Republican congressional leaders for setting a path to accomplish Trump's agenda after Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. Trump met with the Senate GOP on Wednesday night to discuss a path that includes two reconciliation bills.
Meanwhile, wildfires continue to devastate Southern California, leaving ash in the place of homes. Biden has canceled a trip to Italy so he can monitor the situation.
Stay tuned here all day for live updates.
