They are at home. They are in love, and I don\u2019t think anyone gets more than that,\u201d Jason Carter said at the time. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s a perfect situation for this time in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Harris also wished the former president a happy birthday, saying in a statement\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP\/status\/1708475444658426073\">posted to X,<\/a> formerly known as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, that his \u201clife and legacy continue to inspire us today.\u201d Former Speaker Rep.
