Former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson spoke at Tuesday night’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago and said that Vice President Kamala Harris carries the Carter legacy.

Jason Carter, chair of the Atlanta-based Carter Center, told Democrats that his “Paw Paw” can’t wait to vote for Harris.

The former president will celebrate his 100th birthday on Oct. 1. He’s currently in hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia, and was last seen in public at the funeral of his late wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died in November at the age of 96.
