Former United States Vice President, Walter Mondale has died at the age of 93.
Mondale, who served under President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, passed away on Monday, April 19, 2021.
Mondale is probably best remembered for losing one of the most uneven presidential elections in recent history, to a Ronald Reagan who was at the height of his popularity.
Mondale lost by 525-13 electoral votes in 1984 — the widest margin in the Electoral College since Franklin Roosevelt beat Alf Landon in 1936. He carried only his home state of Minnesota.
The selection of Geraldine Ferraro as Mondale’s running mate made him the first major-party nominee to put a woman on the ticket.
