Soon we will know who won, @VP or @realDonaldTrump. So why not revisit winning with the Gipper in the 1984 US presidential election @YSJHistory @YSJAmStuds @YSJEvents @YorkStJohn? AmA fantastic group of scholars will revisit @RonaldReagan re-election: https://t.co/EWIGyB6NBE.

There are 364 days until Jimmy Carter turns 101.

[The Carter Center @CarterCenter]

We’re so grateful to Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton for contributing messages for President Carter’s 100th birthday concert. The audience was thrilled! Today, on President Carter’s actual birthday, we’re delighted to share excerpts from those with the world.

Jimmy Carter was born closer to the death of both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (d. 1826) than to the present day! #Carter100
