Kamala Harris Shares a Trump-less Photo of Presidents at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral
Pictures shared on social media by the vice president and by the Carter Center prominently showed other past presidents in attendance.

Former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Thursday brought together five current and former presidents. But photos of the group later shared to social media by Vice President Kamala Harris and the Carter Center left one of them out of frame: President-elect Donald J. Trump.
Ms. Harris, who lost a bitterly fought campaign to Mr. Trump, and Mr. Carter had both been harshly criticized by the president-elect, who attended the funeral at Washington National Cathedral with his wife, Melania Trump.
The photo shared from the vice president’s official social media accounts on Saturday featured the three Democrats the most prominently.

It showed President Biden and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama standing with their hands over their hearts. Former President George W. Bush, a Republican, was obscured by Doug Emhoff, Ms. Harris’s husband, who was standing next to her in the front pew.

A representative for Ms. Harris’s office declined to comment on Saturday. … The Carter Center and Mr. Trump’s White House transition team did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A correction was made on Jan. 12, 2025: An earlier version of this article incorrectly described former President George W. Bush’s interaction with President-elect Donald J. Trump at the Carter funeral. Mr. Bush shook the president-elect’s hand; he did not avoid Mr. Trump.
