Walter Mondale
Walter Frederick "Fritz" Mondale (January 5, 1928 – April 19, 2021) was an American politician who was the 42nd vice president of the United States from 1977 to 1981 under President Jimmy Carter. He was a two-term United States Senator from Minnesota. Mondale became senator because Hubert Humphrey became vice president under Lyndon B. Johnson. To become vice president, Hubert Humphrey had to stop being a Minnesota senator. Karl Rolvaag, the governor of Minnesota, appointed Mondale to replace Humphrey. Mondale was the Democratic Party nominee for president in 1984. His vice presidential nominee, Geraldine Ferraro, was the first woman to be nominated. He only got a majority of votes in Minnesota and the District of Columbia, and lost to Ronald Reagan in the other 49 states.
