The U.S. 'Presidents Club' convenes to honor Carter

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : Pence refused to endorse his former boss in the 2024 election after a mob that Trump sent marching on the Capitol to halt the certification of the 2020 election stormed the building chanting, "Hang Mike Pence!"Biden, who gave the eulogy, sat with First Lady Jill Biden beside Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
27% : Trump launched his political career by pushing the racist and false "birther" conspiracy theory that his Democratic predecessor -- the first and only Black president -- was lying about being a natural born American.
24% : It might have been an awkward affair, as Trump has denigrated most of the group in disputes of varying degrees of seriousness -- and found himself sitting next to longtime sparring partner Obama.
18% : As the TV audience studied the presidents' interactions, US media remarked on the added awkwardness of the leaders of Canada and Panama, two nations threatened recently by Trump, being sat less than 30 feet (10 meters) from the president-elect.
11% : It was also the first time since the election that Trump had been in the same room as his opponent Kamala Harris -- whom he repeatedly accused of being mentally ill -- and his first time in four years in close proximity to his estranged vice president, Mike Pence.
9% : The five living men who have occupied the White House -- Joe Biden and his predecessors Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump -- came together at Washington's National Cathedral for their first encounter since the 2018 funeral of another former president, George H.W. Bush.
6% : Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton -- whom Trump defeated in 2016 to claim his first term -- took their places next to Bush and his wife Laura.
