'''Herman Eugene Talmadge''' (August 9, 1913 – March 21, 2002) was a [[Democrat]] [[segregation]]ist from [[Georgia]] who served as the state's governor and senator. The son of notorious [[white supremacist]] governor Eugene Talmadge, he was known for his fierce opposition to [[civil rights]] as well as his scandals that eventually destroyed his political reputation.
During the [[2020 presidential election]], [[Democrat]] candidate [[Joe Biden]] touted his friendships and cooperation with Talmadge and several other segregationist Democrats in his early Senate years.<ref>Two references:
