Historian reflects on George McGovern’s enduring impact on presidential politics

Global Politics

George McGovern, in 1972, lost his bid to be elected president in a landslide. But four years earlier, he led a commission that totally changed how presidential party nominees are chosen. That system remains in place to day and is, perhaps, one of McGovern’s most enduring legacies. He died this weekend, at age 90.
