These steps Carter took during his presidency are still shaping the United States, decades after he left office. But they didn’t help him at the polls.

Ilhan Omar. “Millions are taxpaying Americans who have contributed greatly to our communities and to our economy,” Carter said in a 2021 statement commemorating the act’s anniversary.
