the last president to lie in state was the late president george herbert walker bush. in december 2018, the last person to lie in state was the late senate majority leader harry reid of nevada. in january 2022. this time last year, we were all at the iowa caucuses, but the first in the nation did not get much attention until 1976. that's when jimmy carter, a pretty unknown governor from georgia, decided to focus on iowa. he placed a surprising second in the democratic caucus, which caught the attention of the national media and catapulted him to the democratic nomination and ultimately, the white house. since then, almost all candidates of both parties have taken iowa quite seriously, and today in washington, it feels like an iowa day. in the 20s, as former president carter is being brought to the united states capitol for the first day of his funeral procession here in washington to take place a truly solemn ceremony on the steps in front of the capitol, where he will be greeted at the top of the steps by his family and accompanied into the capitol rotunda. let's see
