In 1976 Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter ran a heated campaign against incumbent President Gerald Ford. But in a development that seems increasingly foreign to today’s partisan environment, the two political foes became friends after Carter himself left the White House.

Stahl also spoke with presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, who described Ford and Carter as examples of honesty and integrity in politics.
