James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (October 1, 1924 - December 29, 2024) was the 39th President of the United States. He was elected president in 1976 and was succeeded by Ronald Reagan in 1980.
A poster from his presidential campaign was on the wall of the Blast from the Past antique/memorabilia store in 2015. They also sold Trust Me, a comedy record by Hans Peterson doing an impersonation of Jimmy Carter.[1]
In the alternate timeline where an elderly Biff Tannen traveled from 2015 to 1955 with a sports almanac to make himself rich, Biff fired Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein after he purchased The Washington Post, which caused the Nixon administration's involvement in the break-in at the Watergate Hotel. Bernstein and Woodward's story never saw the light of day, which allowed the Watergate scandal to stay buried.
Afterward, Biff was able to bribe state legislators into spearheading a constitutional amendment repealing the 22nd amendment of the United States Constitution, which allowed Richard Nixon to seek a third term. Jimmy Carter, who had been the governor of Georgia, emerged at the frontrunner to challenge President Nixon in the 1976 election.
On November 3, 1976, the election results were tallied. Richard Nixon won a third term, and Jimmy Carter returned to farming.[2]
