(CNN)Former Vice President Walter Mondale was released from the Mayo Clinic on Saturday after being admitted with influenza, hospital spokeswoman Kelley Luckstein said. "He's doing well. We treated him for flu and cold symptoms and he was released today," she said. Mondale, 87, was diagnosed after he went to the hospital for a routine checkup following a fever, former President Jimmy Carter said Friday. "He is in the bed right this moment, but looking forward to come back home," Carter said during a speech at a Nobel Peace Prize Forum in Minneapolis. "He said tell everybody he is doing well." Mondale underwent treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The 42nd vice president served under Carter between 1977 and 1981, and later ran for President, but lost to Ronald Reagan. But not before he made history by naming a woman, U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York, as his running mate. Before that, the former lawyer was  a U.S. senator from Minnesota. His wife, Joan Mondale, died last year.

Tidigare vicepresident Walter Mondale släpptes från Mayokliniken i lördags efter att ha blivit inlagd med influensa, sa sjukhustaleskvinnan Kelley Luckstein. "Han mår bra. Vi behandlade honom för influensa och förkylningssymptom och han släpptes idag, sade hon. Mondale, 87 år, fick diagnosen efter att han åkte till sjukhuset för en rutinkontroll efter feber, sa före detta president Jimmy Carter i fredags. "Han ligger i sängen just nu, men ser fram emot att komma hem igen", sade Carter under ett tal på ett Nobels fredsprisforum i Minneapolis. "Han sa till alla att det går bra för honom." Mondale genomgick behandling vid Mayokliniken i Rochester i Minnesota. Den 42:a vicepresidenten tjänstgjorde under Carter mellan 1977 och 1981, och kandiderade senare till president, men förlorade mot Ronald Reagan. Men inte förrän han skapade historia genom att döpa en kvinna, U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro från New York, till sin styrman. Dessförinnan var den tidigare advokaten en amerikansk senator från Minnesota. Hans fru Joan Mondale dog förra året. Här är en sammanfattning av höjdpunkterna för denna artikel:
