A memorial service for President Jimmy Carter has reunited all five living presidents Thursday in Washington D.C. as well as two former vice presidents who had a heartfelt moment last summer.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence briefly greeted each other and shook hands at Jimmy Carter’s funeral service on Thursday.
