Mondale served as Jimmy Carter's vice president before running for president himself in 1984.
During his campaign, Mondale made history by selecting Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. 
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, who died Monday at the age of 93, made history during his 1984 presidential run when he chose Rep. Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his running mate.
Though then President Ronald Reagan handily defeated Mondale and Ferraro, the Minnesota politician was a pioneer as the first presidential candidate on a major party ticket to choose a female running mate — nearly four decades before Vice President Kamala Harris became the first woman sworn into the office.
