Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. was a prominent American politician, whose illustrious career spanned multiple decades, during which he held various influential positions.
From 1965 to 1969, Humphrey served as the 38th vice president of the United States, playing a vital role in the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Prior to his vice presidency, Humphrey had already established himself as a dedicated public servant, having served two non-consecutive terms in the United States Senate, representing the state of Minnesota from 1949 to 1964 and again from 1971 to 1978.
Humphrey's impressive political career also included a notable bid for the presidency, as the Democratic Party's nominee in the 1968 presidential election, where he ultimately lost to the Republican nominee, Richard Nixon.
