WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson issued the following statement regarding the passing of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter (1924-2024):

“Today, the thoughts of Americans and the prayers of Congress are lifted up on behalf of the Carter family. President Carter’s story was one of humble beginnings, and his life is a testament to the boundless opportunities available in this great nation.
