Former Vice President Walter Mondale Dies at 93

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Walter Mondale, the former vice president under President Jimmy Carter, died Monday at the age of 93. He served as U.S. Senator from Minnesota from 1964 to 1976, and in 1984, he became the first presidential candidate to select a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, to be his running mate. Mondale lost in a landslide defeat to President Ronald Reagan that year, but he remained a revered liberal elder with a list of accomplishments that are still relevant to many Democrats today.
