Netizens have reacted to Kamala Harris, who seemed displeased with Barack Obama and Donald Trump having a conversation at Jimmy Carter's funeral. The former President of the United States passed away at his hospice care home in Plains, Georgia, on December 29, 2024, at around 3:45 pm local time.

Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday last year, making him the oldest living US President before his demise. On January 9, Carter was honored with a funeral at a church in Georgia, which was key to his spiritual life. He was buried next to his wife Rosalynn Carter, who died in November 2023 at age 96.

Jimmy Carter's funeral was marked by the presence of all five living Presidents of the United States. President-elect Donald Trump was the first to arrive alongside Melania Trump. Barack Obama, the Bidens, the Clintons, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff were also present. The only notable absentee was former First Lady Michelle Obama, who is reportedly in Hawaii.

In a viral video from the funeral, Donald Trump and Barack Obama were reportedly seen engaging in a conversation. While the exchange brought smiles on both faces, Kamala Harris seemed displeased. The 48-second clip has quickly gone viral on X with several netizens reacting to the same.

One user quipped about Harris seemingly realizing that the two were talking about her.

"She knows they are talking about her," wrote the fan on X.
"She is furious they are sitting beside each other," commented another.
"Love that she feels so betrayed and upset. That she was actually a possibility for President is astounding and alarming," wrote another user on X.

A netizen on X opined that many people in the scene were trying to eavesdrop, including Melania Trump and Doug Emhoff.

"I think it's funny to watch the faces of people as they try to nonchalantly eavesdrop. Melania has made her feelings crystal clear, Emhoff is trying hard to look disinterested, and Harris is clearly pissed," commented the person.
"Trump's Secret Service agent keeping his eyes on her," joked another.
"Kamala's reaction: "When you realize you're at a funeral, but it feels like a political reality show reunion," opined a user.

Some other reactions are as follows:

"I am sure she was disgusted by Trump’s lack of respect for former President Carter. It wasn’t the time to start a conversation," a fan declared.
"When political rivals chat, and Kamala's like, "Is this the crossover episode I didn't sign up for?" quipped another.
"Her expression tells a lot. Priceless. She is going to have a LONG FOUR YEARS. And she is going through PTSD shock when she saw his face. That's why she decided to read the venue to avoid it all," inferred a person on X.

Barack Obama attended the second day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) 2024 at the United Center on August 20. The former President of the United States supported Democratic supremo Kamala Harris in the presidential election and slammed Donald Trump in his speech.

He described the President-elect as someone who saw "power" as a means to getting his way and blamed him for using the finances of working-class Americans to pay for tax cuts for his wealthy friends.

Obama described Donald Trump as a billionaire who was afraid of losing to Kamala Harris. He said:

“Here’s a 78-year-old billionaire, who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. It has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually been getting worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala."

The 44th President of the United States also compared Trump to a neighbor with a leaf blower.

“There's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, and this weird obsession with crowd sizes. It just goes on and on and on. The other day I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf-blower outside your window every minute of every day. Now from a neighbor, that’s exhausting, from a President, it’s just dangerous,” he said during his DNC speech.

Addressing the Americans, Obama implored them "not to boo" the 78-year-old but to cast their votes for the right person.

“Most of all, Donald Trump wants us to think that this country is hopelessly divided between us and them, between the real Americans who of course support him and the outsiders who don’t," he continued.

The 63-year-old also mentioned that the Americans were ready for a new chapter under the tutelage of Kamala Harris and pleaded with the citizens to protect their democracy.

“We do not need four more years of bluster, bumbling, and chaos. We have seen that movie— and we all know that the sequel is usually worse,” Obama added.

On November 6, 2024, the Republican supremo defeated Kamala Harris to be declared the 47th President of the United States of America. As per a report from the Associated Press, the 78-year-old received 312 electoral votes, surpassing the favorable number of 270. Harris, meanwhile ended her tally at 226.
