President Biden is facing comparisons to former President Jimmy Carter as he prepares to leave office amid domestic discontent with inflation and a Middle East crisis. The parallels between the two presidents are described as 'uncanny,' with both facing struggles with inflation and hostage situations in the Middle East. Carter was cast out of office after losing to Ronald Reagan in 1980, while Biden did not get the chance to seek re-election. Both presidents also faced intraparty warfare and high inflation during their terms. Biden paid tribute to Carter after his death, calling him a 'remarkable leader' and man of high character.
