Former Vice President Walter Mondale has died, a family spokesman confirmed to NPR. Mondale was 93 years old.
The Minnesota Democrat was the Vice President of President Jimmy Carter and the Democratic nominee for President in 1984 when he was presided over by President Ronald Reagan.
Carter said Monday he considered Mondale “the best vice president in our country’s history”.
He added: “Fritz Mondale has provided us all with a model for public service and private behavior.
Senator Amy Klobuchar also remembered Mondale, a former Senator from Minnesota.
“Walter Mondale was a true civil servant and my friend and mentor. He set a high bar for himself and passed it on and raised it, passed it on and raised it,” she wrote on Twitter.
