This was Senator McGovern. He is probably most known as the President that America probably never had. Running for office against Nixon during the notorious Watergate incident. He suffered the biggest Election defeat in American history as he only claimed 37.5 percent of the American vote. McGovern was a university professor turned politician who made history as (at the time) the first politician from South Dakota to be elected to the House of Representatives in 22 years and to Senate in 26 years. A liberal who held Christian values. He is also well known for establishing and successfully operating the Kennedy Food Program; an operation that sent surplus food overseas and stated by McGovern himself to be one of his proudest achievements. McGovern contributed many other benefits to America and the world. He died this morning. He was 90 years old, and will surely be missed. Rest in Peace
