He later was the Democratic Party's nominee in the 1984 presidential election, but lost to incumbent UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan in an Electoral College and popular vote landslide, with Reagan winning 49 states while Mondale only carried his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia. His vice presidential nominee, New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro, was the first female vice-presidential nominee of any major party in U.S. history.
Mondale was appointed Minnesota Attorney General in 1960 by Governor Orville Freeman and was elected to a full term as attorney general in 1962 with 60% of the vote. He was appointed to the U.S. Senate upon the resignation of Senator UsefulNotes/HubertHumphrey following Humphrey's election as vice president in 1964. Mondale was elected to a full Senate term in 1966 and reelected in 1972.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic presidential nominee, chose Mondale as his vice-presidential running mate. The Carter–Mondale ticket defeated incumbent president UsefulNotes/GeraldFord and his vice presidential running mate, UsefulNotes/BobDole, after which Mondale resigned from the Senate as he prepared to succeed to the vice presidency. Carter and Mondale's time in office was marred by a worsening economy and they lost the 1980 election to Republicans Ronald Reagan and UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush. In 1984, Mondale won the Democratic presidential nomination, with his vice presidential running mate being Geraldine Ferraro, a Congresswoman from New York, who became the first female vice-presidential nominee of any major party in U.S. history. Mondale and Ferraro lost the election to the incumbents Reagan and Bush.
President UsefulNotes/BillClinton appointed Mondale U.S. Ambassador to Japan in 1993; he retired from that post in 1996. In 2002, Mondale became the last-minute choice of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party to run for Senate after the death of Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone, who died in a plane crash less than two weeks before the election. Mondale narrowly lost the race to Saint Paul mayor Norm Coleman. Mondale was the oldest living former U.S. vice president from 2018 to 2021, following the death of George H. W. Bush.
