Former Sen. Bob Dole, longtime Republican leader, dies at 98
Jessica Bursztynsky, CNBC, Dec 5, 2021
Dole served as a U.S. senator for Kansas for nearly 30 years, starting an impressive political run. In 1976, he was Gerald Ford’s vice presidential nominee, though the pair was defeated by President Jimmy Carter and his running mate, Walter Mondale.
He began to test the waters for his own presidential run in 1980. He later clinched the GOP nomination for the presidency in 1996, losing to the incumbent, President Bill Clinton.
