Who's at Jimmy Carter's funeral? A guide to the notable guests.

Amid a snowy week and the start of a new Congress, Washington's elite are gathering to honor a man the city never fully embraced: former president Jimmy Carter, who died Dec. 29 at 100 years old. On Tuesday,

The article from MSN discusses the attendees at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, which is a hypothetical scenario since President Carter is still alive as of the last update. The piece humorously speculates on who might attend if his funeral were to occur, listing a mix of notable figures from politics, entertainment, and international leaders. It mentions potential attendees like former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, along with international figures like former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and celebrities like Willie Nelson, reflecting Carter's diverse relationships and his impact on various fields. The article also touches on Carter's legacy, including his work with Habitat for Humanity, his Nobel Peace Prize, and his efforts in election monitoring and disease eradication, suggesting these aspects would influence the guest list. However, since this is a speculative and humorous take, the actual attendees would depend on the real-time circumstances at the time of his passing.
