Run-Reagan-Run Fritz & Gerry Are Coming Button, 1984
01
Artifact Overview
In 1984, Democrats selected former Vice President Walter Mondale as their presidential nominee. Mondale chose U.S. Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate--viewed by many as a bold choice. Ferraro became the first female vice-presidential candidate to represent a major U.S. political party. It didn't help. Ronald Reagan, the popular Republican incumbent president, won in a landslide.
