Walter Mondale was a former Senator, Vice President, and Democratic nominee for President and has died at age 93, according to TMZ.

Mondale died on Monday in Minneapolis, according to his family. 

Mondale was born and raised in Minnesota and served as the state’s U.S. Senator from 1964 to 1976 while contributing to civil rights and social programs under Lyndon Johnson’s presidency.
