WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter’s decades-long friendship will be on display one last time as Biden eulogizes Carter during his state funeral at Washington National Cathedral. Thursday’s eulogy will mark quite a bookend for both men. For Biden, the spotlight provides an opportunity not simply to praise the late president’s work after leaving office but also perhaps to amplify reassessments of the one-term Carter as president. That framing could be something the 82-year-old Biden hopes for himself as he prepares to hand power over to President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
