Twitter users are trying to decide why former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter look tiny compared to the Bidens in this photo.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter at their home in Plains, Georgia, on Thursday, Biden's 100th day in office. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library released a photo of the visit, and presidential historian Michael Bechloss posted it on social media Monday night. The Bidens and the Carters at the Carter home in Georgia, last week: @CarterLibrary pic.twitter.com/uz4yGsfAc1 — Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) May 4, 2021 Due to some combination of photo perspective, furniture size, and age — Jimmy Carter is 96, Rosalynn Carter is 93 — it looks like the Bidens are looming over slightly miniaturized versions of the Carters, maybe in an oversize doll house. Not that the Bidens are particularly young. In a video filmed for last summer's Democratic National Convention, Carter — president from 1977 to 1981 — called Biden "my first and most effective supporter in the Senate" as well as "my loyal and dedicated friend." (Biden, 78, was only 29 when first elected to the Senate in 1972.) More stories from theweek.com5 brutally funny cartoons about Giuliani's legal woesEurope is back in recession.

(Luke Usry/The Carter Center via AP)ATLANTA – Former President Jimmy Carter marked his 96th birthday Thursday, the latest milestone for the longest-lived of the 44 men to hold the highest American office. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, now 93, recorded audio addresses for Democrats’ virtual national convention urging the election of nominee Joe Biden, who was a young senator from Delaware when Jimmy Carter won the presidency in 1976. Perhaps most notable among Carter’s 2020 election maneuvering is the Carter Center for the first time designating the United States as a “backsliding” democracy. Weeks before his 95th birthday last year, Carter alluded to the advanced ages of several candidates at the time.

WASHINGTON The Carter Center, an organization founded by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, has worked for decades to ensure fair elections in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The Carter Center says its efforts will focus on two main initiatives: providing information to the public on key election issues and ensuring transparency in the election process through independent observers. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the 2020 election will be the most rigged election in U.S. history. He was a one-term Democratic president who served from 1976 to 1981. He and Rosalynn Carter founded the Carter Center in 1982.

The Carters are officially the longest-married presidential couple as of Thursday, according to a post by the Carter Center. President Carter was 21 and Rosalynn was 18 when they were wed on July 7, 1946, in Plains, Georgia. The Carters have the longest marriage of any presidential couple. The previous record holders were George H.W. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library featured a number of photos of the couple throughout their years together.
