Pictures shared on social media by the vice president and by the Carter Center prominently showed other past presidents in attendance.

Former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Thursday brought together five current and former presidents. But photos of the group later shared to social media by Vice President Kamala Harris and the Carter Center left one of them out of frame: President-elect Donald J. Trump.
Ms. Harris, who lost a bitterly fought campaign to Mr. Trump, and Mr. Carter had both been harshly criticized by the president-elect, who attended the funeral at Washington National Cathedral with his wife, Melania Trump.
The photo shared from the vice president’s official social media accounts on Saturday featured the three Democrats the most prominently.
It showed President Biden, along with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, standing with their hands over their hearts. Former President George W. Bush, a Republican, was obscured by Doug Emhoff, Ms. Harris’s husband, who was standing next to her in the front pew.
Mr. Trump was next to Mr. Obama. In the photo, a large pillar appeared to block both Mr. and Mrs. Trump, who were at the end of their row.
“President Jimmy Carter loved our country,” Ms. Harris wrote in her post. “He lived his faith, served the people, and left the world better than he found it.”
