Democrats People: Lady Secretary and I Ll

democrats people: Carter, considered a worldwide ambassador for Habitat for Humanity, said he doesn't like to advocate for particular issues because he works equally with Republicans, Democrats and people of many religious beliefs in his role with the home building charity, according to CTV. But he did say that "everybody knows that I'm a Democrat, and I'll be voting Democratic." Clinton, a former first lady and Secretary of State, is running against Republican billionaire businessman Donald Trump. The 91-year-old Carter spoke with The Associated Press on the site of a Habitat for Humanity construction project in Memphis. Polls have shown that Clinton is unpopular with voters, Trump even more so. "It been an exciting and unprecedented kind of campaign this year, and unfortunately, the way it turned out, both choices in the major parties are quite unpopular," Carter said. "But I don't have any doubt that one of the candidates is better qualified than the other." Carter, who has battled cancer in the past year, is being joined by about 1,500 volunteers during a weeklong effort to build 19 homes in a low-income neighbourhood near the city downtown. Moving amid the skeleton framing of the house, Carter appeared energetic and sure-footed as he talked with workers and used a level to make sure wooden beams were installed correctly. The former president wore blue jeans, a hard hat, a tool belt and a red bandanna around his neck as he hammered nails into the wooden frame of a house under construction. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
