On December 8, 2024, Congressman Carter expressed enthusiasm for participating in local holiday festivities. He stated, "We’re getting into the holiday spirit in true #LA02 style!

The following day, December 9, 2024, he highlighted an educational encounter during a visit to Washington D.C., noting the importance of engaging with young people. He tweeted, "It was wonderful to meet with students from @BMHSCrusaders and @UrsulineNOLA as they visited our nation’s capital with @CloseUp_DC. There’s nothing better than getting a chance to talk with our future leaders."

Later that same day, Congressman Carter announced his new leadership position within the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). He wrote about this development: "I am honored and ready to step into my role as First Vice Chair of the @TheBlackCaucus in the 119th Congress.
