Gary Hart ran to be the Democratic Party candidate for President, won a number of states and made it close. Walter Mondale won the primary, but handily lost the general election to Ronald Reagan who was running for his second term. Hart ran again in 1988 but was much less successful, with his campaign plagued by scandal. These puppets are uncommon in the trade and not held in any institution. We were able to find by Internet search a prior sale of a similar puppet of Ronald Reagan but nothing more than an image of this item.
