Carter’s funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., marks the first time Trump and his former vice president have been together publicly since Trump incited a mob of his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Mike Pence's wife Karen did not greet President-elect Donald Trump or Melania Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral Thursday morning. As the former vice president rose to shake hands with Trump, his wife remained seated. Neither of the Trumps extended a hand to her, and she did not appear to acknowledge them.

The tension between the Trumps and Pences was fueled by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, when then-President Trump took to X, accusing his vice president of lacking “the courage” to do as he was told and refuse to certify the electoral college votes.
