Humphrey death leaves leadership void in Congress
The death of Hubert H. Humphrey creates a leadership vacuum in Congress, as colleagues reflect on his long service and impact. Simon says Carter relied on Humphrey and notes no one else in Congress matched his mix of ambition and experience. Humphrey, known as the Happy Warrior, remained active until late in life, balancing past defeats with enduring public service.
