Herman Eugene Talmadge (August 9, 1913 – March 21, 2002) was a Democrat segregationist 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.[1]
