WALTER MONDALE DEAD: Biden, others remember ex-vice president
Fox News
Walter Mondale, a former vice president and progressive icon who staged an unsuccessful bid to deny Republican Ronald Reagan a second White House term, died Monday at age 93.
President Biden issued a statement late Monday on the death and recalled — back in 1973 — that Mondale was one of the first to greet him when he arrived in the Senate. Biden said he spoke to Mondale over the weekend and they reflected on their friendship. "He may have been modest and unassuming in manner, but he was unwavering in his pursuit of progress; instrumental in passing laws like the Fair Housing Act to prevent racial discrimination in housing, Title IX to provide more opportunities for women, and laws to protect our environment." Mondale’s family said in a statement that he died in Minneapolis. No cause of death was given.More Related News
