Unfortunately for Mondale and Ferraro, the ticket was defeated by President Ronald Reagan/Vice President George Bush, who carried every state except Mondale's home state of Minnesota. Mondale/Ferraro narrowly won in the District of Columbia. Ferraro left Congress in 1985 and struggled with a cancer diagnosis on and off until her death in March 2011.
