Former Vice President Walter Mondale was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1984 Democratic National Convention held from July 16 to July 19, 1984, in San Francisco, California. Background The Commission on Presidential Nomination was formed in July 1981, under the leadership of Jim Hunt. The commission sought to increase the power of elected officials, who could choose a more moderate and ideologically representative candidate. Alan Cranston, Gillis William Long, and Walter Mondale supported giving elected officials positions as uncommitted delegates while Ted Kennedy opposed it.Ranney 1985 103–104 The report was completed on February 5, 1982. The commission allocated 568 delegates, 14% of the total, to unelected superdelegates, who were party leaders and elected officials. The primary schedule was reduced to occur from March to June, with the exception of Iowa and New Hampshire.Ranney 1985 45–47, 105 411 of the superdelegates were elected officials and 157 were party officials. Members of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate accounted for 200 delegates. Mondale's campaign capitalized on this and Richard Moe, with 20 lobbyists, gained support for Mondale from members of Congress. Thomas Hale Boggs Jr. lobbied for congressional support for John Glenn.Ranney 1985 107–108 Twenty-six primaries were held in 1984, less than the thirty-one in 1980.Ranney 1985 46 54% of the delegates were selected using primaries which was a decline from the 72% in 1980, 32% was selected using caucuses, and the remainder were superdelegates. Ten states, six using a primary and four using a caucus, and Puerto Rico used a winner-take-all system. The minimum percentage needed to win delegates was raised from 15% to 20%.Nelson 1985 34–35 Candidates Nominee Candidate Most recent office Home state Campaign Popular vote Contests won Running mateWalterMondale alt=|frameless|100pxU.S. Vice President(1977–1981)84x84px|Minnesota Minnesota100x100pxalt=|100x100px (Campaign)6,952,912 (38.3%)26(AL, AR, DE, GA, IL, IA, KS, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, NJ, NY, NC, PA, TN, TX, VA, WV, WI-C Wisconsin Caucuses, AS, GU, PR, VI, DA Democrats Abroad)GeraldineFerraroalt=|frameless|100px Eliminated at Convention Candidate Most recent office Home state CampaignWithdrawal date Popular vote Contests wonGaryHartframeless|100pxU.S. Senatorfrom Colorado(1975–1987)84x84px|Colorado Coloradoframeless|100x100pxEliminated at Convention: July 18, 1984Endorsed Mondale:July 19, 1984July 20, 1984 Hart Promises Mondale Full Support 7A Oakland Tribune https://www.newspapers.com/image/758518729 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20241203002829/https://www.newspapers.com/image/758518729 December 3, 2024 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)6,504,842(35.9%)26(AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, ID-P Idaho Primary, ID-C Idaho Caucuses, IN, ME, MA, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, OH, OK, OR, RI, SD, UT, VT, WA, WI-P Wisconsin Primary, WY)JesseJacksonframeless|100pxPresident of PUSH(1971–2023)84x84px|South Carolina South Carolinaframeless|100x100pxEliminated at Convention: July 18, 1984Endorsed Mondale:August 28, 1984August 29, 1984 Jesse Jackson Endorses Mondale; Maynard Jackson will be adviser 5A The Atlanta Constitution https://www.newspapers.com/image/399300465/ bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20250304233515/https://www.newspapers.com/image/399300465/ March 4, 2025 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)3,282,431(18.1%)2(DC, LA) Withdrew during Primaries Candidate Most recent office Home state Campaign Withdrawal date Popular vote Contests wonJohnGlennframeless|125x125pxU.S. Senatorfrom Ohio(1974–1999)84x84px|Ohio Ohioframeless|100x100pxWithdrew:March 16, 1984Endorsed Mondale:July 18, 1984July 19, 1984 Glenn, Luken Cast Votes For Mondale 6A The Cincinnati Enquirer https://www.newspapers.com/image/101733591 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20250304233515/https://www.newspapers.com/image/101733591 March 4, 2025 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)617,909(3.41%)0GeorgeMcGovernframeless|125x125pxU.S. Senatorfrom South Dakota(1963–1981)84x84px|South Dakota South Dakota100x100pxWithdrew:March 14, 1984Endorsed Mondale:June 13, 1984June 14, 1984 McGovern Backs Mondale 1 Argus-Leader https://www.newspapers.com/image/239673036 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20250304233515/https://www.newspapers.com/image/239673036 March 4, 2025 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)334,801(1.85%)0ReubinAskewframeless|125x125pxGovernorof Florida(1971–1979)84x84px|Florida Florida100x100pxWithdrew:March 1, 1984Endorsed Mondale:July 18, 1984July 19, 1984 'Different Democrat' Hears Last Hurrah Of Campaign 13A The Miami Herald https://www.newspapers.com/image/630631701 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20250304233515/https://www.newspapers.com/image/630631701 March 4, 2025 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)52,759(0.29%)0FritzHollingsframeless|125x125pxU.S. Senatorfrom South Carolina(1966–2005)84x84px|South Carolina South Carolina100x100pxWithdrew:March 1, 1984Endorsed Hart:March 9, 1984March 10, 1984 'A New Sense of Direction' 1 The Greenville News https://www.newspapers.com/image/189695802 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20241202234514/https://www.newspapers.com/image/189695802 December 2, 2024 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)33,684(0.19%)0AlanCranstonframeless|125x125pxU.S. Senatorfrom California(1969–1993)84x84px|California California100x100pxWithdrew:February 29, 1984Endorsed Mondale:July 18, 1984July 19, 1984 Hart Picked Up Early California Support 18 The Napa Valley Register https://www.newspapers.com/image/565148922 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20241203011147/https://www.newspapers.com/image/565148922 December 3, 2024 Newspapers.com November 14, 2024 (Campaign)51,437(0.28%)0 Minor Candidates Lyndon LaRoucheClaude R.

He also poured scorn on Mondale, saying that Hubert Humphrey was the "last significant politician out of the St. Paul-Minneapolis" area.http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,926644,00.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070930092516/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,926644,00.html dead September 30, 2007 Time 1984-07-02 Evan Thomas Trying to Win the Peace Colorado Senator Gary Hart was little-known when he announced his run February 1983, and barely received above 1% in the polls compared to other well-known figures. To counter this, Hart started campaigning early in New Hampshire, making a then-unprecedented canvassing tour in late September, months before the primary. This strategy attracted national media attention to his campaign, and by late 1983, he had risen moderately in the polls to the middle of the field, mostly at the expense of the sinking candidacies of John Glenn and Cranston. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/19/us/candidates-facing-first-major-test-in-iowa-caucuses.html Candidates Facing First Major Test in Iowa Caucuses The New York Times 19 February 1984 Raines Howell 26 June 2019 16 May 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230516001608/https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/19/us/candidates-facing-first-major-test-in-iowa-caucuses.html livehttp://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/caucus-history-past-years-results/ Caucus history: Past years' results 2021-07-20 2016-11-08 https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20161108193008/http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/caucus-history-past-years-results/ bot: unknown Hart criticized Mondale as an "old-fashioned" Great Society Democrat who symbolized "failed policies" of the past. Hart positioned himself as a younger, fresher, and more moderate Democrat who could appeal to younger voters. He emerged as a formidable candidate, winning the key Ohio and California primaries as well as several others, especially in the West. However, Hart could not overcome Mondale's financial and organizational advantages, especially among labor union leaders in the Midwest and industrial Northeast. Hart was also badly hurt during a televised debate when Mondale used a popular television commercial slogan to ridicule Hart's vague "New Ideas" platform. Turning to Hart on camera, Mondale said that whenever he heard Hart talk about his "New Ideas", he was reminded of the Wendy's fast-food slogan "Where's the beef?". The remark drew loud laughter and applause from the audience and caught Hart off-guard. Hart never fully recovered from Mondale's charge that his "New Ideas" were shallow and lacking in specifics. Earlier in the same Democratic primary debate, Hart committed a serious faux pas that largely went underreported. Asked what he would do if an unidentified airplane flew over the Iron Curtain from a Warsaw Pact nation, Hart replied that he would send up a United States Air Force plane and instruct them to determine whether or not it was an enemy plane by looking in the cockpit window to see if the pilots were wearing uniforms. Fellow candidate John Glenn, a former Marine Corps fighter pilot, replied that this was physically impossible. At a roundtable debate between the three remaining Democratic candidates moderated by Phil Donahue, Mondale and Hart got in such a heated argument over the issue of U.S. policy in Central America that Jackson had to tap his water glass on the table to get them to simmer down. Jackson's campaign was bolstered after he led a delegation to Syria that convinced Hafez al-Assad to release Bobby Goodman in January 1984. Jackson received large and overwhelming positive news coverage. However, positive news coverage ended after he called Jews "Hymies" and New York City "Hymietown". Jackson was also criticized for his relation with Louis Farrakhan.Ranney 1985 52–53Ranney 1985 180Jesse Jackson's 'Hymietown' Remark – 1984 The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm live https://web.archive.org/web/20240216203947/https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm February 16, 2024 Early contests thumb|right|250x250px|Mondale celebrates his victory in the Iowa caucus Mondale won the Iowa caucus with a plurality of the vote.

Church The proportional nature of delegate selection meant that Mondale was likely to obtain enough delegates on that day to secure the stated support of an overall majority of delegates, and hence the nomination, no matter who actually "won" the states contested. However, Hart maintained that unpledged superdelegates that had previously claimed support for Mondale would shift to his side if he swept the Super Tuesday III primary.http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,926535,00.html https://web.archive.org/web/20080421091601/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,926535,00.html dead April 21, 2008 Time 1984-06-11 Evan Thomas Last Call, and Out Reeling Once again, Hart committed a faux pas, insulting New Jersey shortly before the primary day. Campaigning in California, he remarked that while the "bad news" was that he and his wife Lee had to campaign separately, "[t]he good news for her is that she campaigns in California while I campaign in New Jersey." Compounding the problem, when his wife interjected that she "got to hold a koala bear," Hart replied that "I won't tell you what I got to hold: samples from a toxic-waste dump." While Hart won California, he decisively lost New Jersey after leading in polls by as much as 15 points. North Dakota held its first presidential primary, but no delegates were bound by it.

However, after Mondale's landslide loss to Ronald Reagan, Hart would quickly emerge as the frontrunner for the 1988 Democratic Party's presidential nomination. He would maintain that status until a sex scandal derailed his candidacy in 1987. Mondale's nomination marked only the fifth time that the Democratic Party nominated a private citizen for President (i.e., not serving in an official government role at the time of the nomination and election), following former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter in 1976, who followed former Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II in 1956, who followed former West Virginia Congressman John W. Davis in 1924, who was preceded by former President Grover Cleveland in 1892. The Democratic Party did not nominate another private citizen until former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in 2016. Four years later, the party nominated former vice president Joe Biden. Of the seven private-citizen Democratic nominees, Jimmy Carter, Grover Cleveland, and Joe Biden won their respective presidential elections.Mondale's Acceptance Speech, 1984 https://web.archive.org/web/20130606014227/http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/conventions/chicago/facts/famous.speeches/mondale.84.shtml 2013-06-06 , AllPolitics Analysis Mondale performed best in states with primaries.Ranney 1985 106 Hart won more states than Mondale and performed better both in primaries, with 16 victories out of 27, and caucuses, with 13 victories out of 23, but he won in states with lower delegate counts and which allotted them proportionally. Mondale won four of the five winner-take-all states. His plurality victories gave him all of Pennsylvania's 80 delegates and 102 of New Jersey's 107 delegates.Nelson 1985 36–38 Mondale's strong support among superdelegates meant that the delegations of five states won by Hart (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Indiana, Ohio, and New Mexico) were controlled by Mondale.Nelson 1985 40 The delegate results were malapportioned when compared to the popular vote. If all of the contests used a proportional system then the results would have been 1,591 delegates for Mondale, 1,307 for Hart, 645 for Jackson, and 390 for others and uncommitted. This would have placed Mondale below the minimum number of delegates needed to win and doubled the number of Jackson's delegates.Nelson 1985 40–41 Mondale lost all of New England and almost every state west of the Mississippi.Pomper 1985 21 Two-thirds of the delegates attending the convention identified as liberals compared to 7% who identified as conservatives.Pomper 1985 24 One-third of people who supported Hart during the Democratic primary voted for Reagan.Rosenstone 1985 31 4% of Mondale supporters and 6% of Jackson supporters voted for Reagan.Nelson 1985 286 The 1984 Democratic presidential primary vote by demographic subgroup Demographic subgroupMondaleHartJacksonOther % oftotal vote Total vote 38 36 18 8 100Ideology Moderates 41 37 15 7 47 Liberals 34 36 25 5 27 Conservatives 37 34 16 13 21Party Democrats 42 33 20 5 74 Independents 28 44 16 12 20Gender Men 38 36 17 9 46 Women 39 35 19 7 54Race White 42 43 5 10 78 Black 19 3 77 1 18Age 18–29 years old 26 39 26 9 17 30–44 years old 30 38 23 9 30 45–59 years old 41 34 18 7 23 60 and older 52 31 10 7 28Education Less than high school 51 26 18 5 14 High school graduate 43 34 16 7 33 Some college 33 38 21 8 27 College graduate 31 41 20 8 26Union households Union 45 31 19 5 33 Source: Adam Clymer combined the exit polls conducted in 24 states by The New York Times, CBS, NBC, and ABC.Nelson 1985 67 Endorsements Endorsements in the 1984 Democratic Party presidential primaries background:#cff List of Walter Mondale endorsements border:solid 1px silver; padding:8px; background:white; Mondale had received endorsements from: Executive Branch Officials Jimmy Carter, President of the United States from Georgia (1977–1981)Raines Howell https://www.nytimes.com/1983/10/20/us/democrats-pursue-southern-support.html Democrats Pursue Southern Support The New York Times October 20, 1983 August 11, 2014 September 21, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20240921111012/https://www.nytimes.com/1983/10/20/us/democrats-pursue-southern-support.html live Dean Rusk, United States Secretary of State from Georgia (1961–1969) U.S. Senate Daniel Inouye, U.S. Senator from Hawaii (1963–2012)March 14, 1984 Isle Caucus Avoids Choice A1 Honolulu Star-Bulletin https://www.newspapers.com/article/honolulu-star-bulletin/143800885/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20240321064912/https://www.newspapers.com/article/honolulu-star-bulletin/143800885/ March 21, 2024 Newspapers.com Patrick Leahy, U.S. Senator from Vermont (1975–2023)March 7, 1984 Lynn Frank Hart Scores Again In Vermont Vote The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/1984/03/07/us/hart-scores-again-in-vermont-vote.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20240217205758/https://www.nytimes.com/1984/03/07/us/hart-scores-again-in-vermont-vote.html February 17, 2024 U.S. House of Representatives Glenn M.

Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did." Although Mondale intended to expose Reagan as hypocritical and position himself as the honest candidate, the choice of taxes as a discussion point likely damaged his electoral chances.November 2018 Vice-Presidential nominee Mondale chose U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York as his running mate and she was confirmed by acclamation, making her the first woman nominated for that position by a major party. Aides later said that Mondale was determined to establish a precedent with his vice presidential candidate, considering San Francisco Mayor (Later U.S. Senator) Dianne Feinstein and Governor of Kentucky Martha Layne Collins, who were also female; Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African American; and San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, a Hispanic, as other finalists for the nomination. Unsuccessful nomination candidate Jackson derided Mondale's vice-presidential screening process as a "P.R. parade of personalities"; however, he praised Mondale for his choice. Others however preferred Senator Lloyd Bentsen because he would appeal to more conservative Southern voters. Nomination rival Gary Hart had also been lobbying for the vice-presidential spot on the ticket once it became apparent that Mondale had clinched the majority of delegates; Hart's supporters claimed he would do better than Mondale against President Reagan, an argument undercut by a June 1984 Gallup poll that showed both men nine points behind the President.
