The 1976 National Convention of the U.S. Democratic Party met at Madison Square Garden in New York City, from July 12 to July 15, 1976. The convention nominated Jimmy Carter of Georgia for President and Walter Mondale of Minnesota for Vice President. John Glenn and Barbara Jordan gave keynote speeches. The convention was the first in New York since the 103 ballot 1924 convention.By the time the convention opened Carter already had more than enough delegates to win the nomination, and so the major emphasis at the convention was to create an appearance of party unity, which had been lacking in the 1968 and 1972 Democratic Conventions. Carter easily won the nomination on the first ballot; he then chose Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota, a liberal and a protege of Hubert Humphrey, as his running mate.
