Two presidents. Two eulogies. For each other.

Political opponents who became friends. Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.

Here's Jimmy Carter's eulogy for Gerald Ford in 2007.

For myself and for our nation, I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land."

Those were the first words I spoke as president. And I still hate to admit that they received more applause than any other words in my inaugural address.

And here's Gerald Ford, through his son Steven, in 2025

As for myself, Jimmy, I'm looking forward to our reunion. We have much to catch up on. Thank you, Mr. President. Welcome home, old friend.

Jimmy Carter – a Democrat - and Gerald Ford – a Republican - ran against each in 1976.

So how did they become friends?

And how did they end up writing eulogies for each other?

And – what did they say about each other?
