Walter F. Mondale, who as the Democratic nominee for president in 1984 put the first woman on a major-party ticket, with US Representative Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate, but lost to Ronald Reagan by the largest Electoral College margin in US history, died Monday. The former vice president was 93.
The death of Mr. Mondale, who also served as senator, ambassador, and Minnesota attorney general, was announced in a statement from his family. No cause was cited.
