- Description
- Bob Dole, senator from Kansas, was the 1996 Republican nominee for president. His running mate was Jack Kemp who had previously served as both Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and representative from New York. The Dole-Kemp ticket lost to their Democratic opponents President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.
- Twenty years earlier, Bob Dole had been the vice-presidential candidate on President Gerald Ford’s losing ticket. These two losses make Dole the only major party candidate in U.S. history to have been nominated for both president and vice president without winning either office
