Hubert Humphrey
Civil-rights liberal and later vice president. The 1948 speech that split the Dixiecrats from the Democrats.
Hubert Humphrey is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Senator, Minnesota, 1949–1964, 1971–1978. The placement note is: Civil-rights liberal and later vice president. The 1948 speech that split the Dixiecrats from the Democrats.
The dot is economics -42 and authority -12. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits near the middle. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.
Said: In 1948, the Democratic Party should walk into the sunshine of civil rights. Later, the Great Society and the war together. Done: The 1948 speech split the Dixiecrats. As vice president he defended Vietnam longer than his own left would bear. The placement follows what the career did when the two diverge.
The nearest other former members on these two numbers are John Conyers (-40 / -14) and Katie Porter (-36 / -14). Nearness is not a school of thought.
This page does not add votes that are not in the placement note. The bills themselves are in the Congressional Record for those years.
