19:52Now PlayingWe’re in the midst of convention season! C-SPAN recently brought you live gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Republican convention. Soon we’ll do the same for the Democratic convention.
Which means it’s the perfect time to think about – Jimmy Carter.
"My name is Jimmy Carter, and I'm running for President. It's been a long time since I said those words the first time, and now I've come here after seeing our great country to accept your nomination."
That was the 1976 Democratic convention.
Jimmy Carter would repeat versions of that signature line in more speeches at more conventions over the following decades ... In fact, Jimmy Carter had a presence in nearly every Democratic convention since 1976.
But it has been an up-and-down relationship.
Which conventions gave Jimmy Carter a victorious welcome?
Which conventions gave him an awkward – even rocky – acknowledgment?
And what did Jimmy Carter say to all those conventions all those years after he was president?
Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “The Weekly” – Which might make you think, what will they say about Jimmy Carter at the 2024 Democratic Convention?
