A photo shared by Vice President Kamala Harris from Jimmy Carter's funeral is gaining attention for the exclusion of a certain former and incoming president.
While President-elect Donald Trump attended the Washington, D.C. funeral Thursday alongside the other four living presidents, he was not present in Harris' post. The image shows Harris, President Joe Biden and former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama placing their hands over their hearts at the ceremony.
Trump and incoming first lady Melania Trump, who were seated next to Obama, were both left out of the photo posted Saturday.
"President Jimmy Carter loved our country. He lived his faith, served the people, and left the world better than he found it," the social media caption on the VP's official accounts reads. "President Carter’s many contributions will echo for generations to come."
While it was not clear if Trump's exclusion was intentional, Instagram followers were quick to notice his absence after the two went head-to-head in the 2024 presidential election."Best photo crop of the decade," reads one comment.
"I immediately laughed when I saw this image. I love a good cropped photo," another user wrote.
The Carter Center, founded in 1982 by the former president and first lady Rosalynn Carter, also excluded the Trumps in a series of photos from the funeral shared on X Thursday.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Harris, Trump and the Carter Center for comment.
