Live updates: Former President Jimmy Carter dies at age 100, tributes pour in

Former President Jimmy Carter died on Sunday. Reactions began coming in shortly after.

Carter, who turned 100 earlier this year, died peacefully in Plains, Ga., according to the Carter Center.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden released a statement, mourning Carter’s death and highlighting his lifetime of service as an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian.”

“Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well,” the Bidens' statement said.

Others paying tribute to Carter include President-elect Trump and his running mate Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio), the remaining surviving former presidents, and leaders from both sides of the aisle.

Meanwhile, President-elect Trump's administration has promised a fresh approach to internet bans, government spending, border security, and immigration policies, warranting each topic to be a top spot on the Republican list of priorities for the 119th Congress. These topics were among the focus of Sunday's talk shows.

In an interview aired Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for the way he’s handled his role as top Republican in the House.

Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) also signaled an openness to supporting Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for their respective posts in the forthcoming Trump administration but said he has concerns about Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth.
