How did carter’s status as a washington “outsider” him win the presidency? how did ur end up hurting him as a president?

When Carter entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries in 1976, he was considered to have little chance against nationally better-known politicians. His name recognition was two percent. As the Watergate scandal of President Nixon was still fresh in the voters' minds, Carter's position as an outsider, distant from Washington, D.C., became an asset. He promoted government reorganization. Carter published Why Not the Best? in June 1976 to help introduce himself to the American public.how it hurt President Carter: Jimmy Carter's lack of Washington experience made it hard for him to have the appropriate connections to pull strings and get bills passed.

Hope it helped, God bless you!
