Thomas Francis Eagleton (September 4, 1929 – March 4, 2007) was a United States senator from Missouri, serving from 1968 to 1987.
He is best remembered for briefly being the Democratic vice presidential nominee under George McGovern in 1972.
He suffered from bouts of depression throughout his life, resulting in several hospitalizations, which were kept secret from the public.
When they were revealed, it humiliated the McGovern campaign and Eagleton was forced to quit the race.
He later became adjunct professor of public affairs at Washington University in St.
Louis.
