Kamala Harris posts a photo of Jimmy Carter's funeral without a significant caption; the internet is responding

A photo shared by Vice President Kamala Harris at Jimmy Carter's funeral is notable for the omission of the former and incoming president.

While President-elect Donald Trump attended the funeral in Washington, DC on Thursday along with four other living presidents, he was not in Harris' place. The photo shows Harris, President Joe Biden and former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama placing their hands over their hearts at the ceremony.

Trump and incoming first lady Melania Trump, who were sitting next to Obama, were both left out of the photo posted on Saturday.

“President Jimmy Carter loved our country. He lived his faith, served the people, and left the world better than he found it,” captioned the social media account on the VP's official account. “President Carter's many contributions will reverberate for generations to come.”

While it was unclear whether Trump's exclusion was intentional, Instagram followers were quick to notice his absence after the two went head-to-head in the 2024 presidential election.

“The best photo crops of the decade,” read one comment.

“I just laughed when I saw this picture. I love a good cropped image,” one user wrote.

The Carter Center, founded in 1982 by former president and first lady Rosalynn Carter, also did not include the Trumps in a series of funeral photos shared by X on Thursday.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Harris, Trump and the Carter Center for comment.
