Online reactions to a cropped photo of Kamala Harris at Jimmy Carter’s funeral quickly went viral. Social media users joked about the image, speculating whether Harris had intentionally excluded the Trumps. In her caption, Harris praised Carter’s legacy, highlighting his faith, service, and lasting impact, but made no mention of Donald or Melania Trump—a silence that fueled further speculation given her role as Biden’s running mate in the 2024 election.
The Carter Center’s own photos from the funeral also left out the Trumps, despite their confirmed attendance. While the service brought together five living former presidents and several vice presidents, political drama overshadowed the tribute, turning a moment meant to honor Carter’s legacy into a heated online conversation.
