question: Who eventually defeated the winner of the 1984 United States Senate election in Minnesota?
answer: Paul Wellstone
context: Title: United States Senate election in Indiana, 2010
  Passage: The 2010 United States Senate election in Indiana took place on November 2, 2010, alongside 33 other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections to fill Indiana's class III United States Senate seat.  Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Evan Bayh decided in February 2010 to retire instead of seeking a third term shortly after former U.S. Senator Dan Coats announced his candidacy for Bayh's contested seat.  No Democratic candidate submitted enough signatures by the deadline to run, leading Democratic officials to choose U.S. Congressman Brad Ellsworth to be the nominee.  The Libertarian Party nominated YMCA instructor Rebecca Sink-Burris, who had previously run against Evan Bayh in the United States Senate election in Indiana, 1998 but with less success than in this election.  Republican nominee and former U.S. Senator Dan Coats won the open seat.
  Title: United States Senate election in Iowa, 1984
  Passage: The 1984 United States Senate election in Iowa was held on November 5, 1984.  Incumbent Republican Senator Roger Jepsen ran for re-election to a second term in the United States Senate.  Jepsen was opposed by United States Congressman Tom Harkin, from Iowa's 5th congressional district, who won the Democratic primary uncontested.  The general election was full of mudslinging and personal attacks, including the embellishment by both candidates of their military records; Harkin attacked Jepsen for failing to keep his promise to not sell AWACS aircraft to Saudi Arabia.  Ultimately, Harkin defeated Jepsen by a wide margin, winning the first of five terms in the Senate.
  Title: Rudy Boschwitz
  Passage: Rudolph Ely "Rudy" Boschwitz (born November 7, 1930) is a former Independent-Republican United States Senator from Minnesota.  He served in the Senate from December 1978 to January 1991, in the 96th, 97th, 98th, 99th, 100th, and 101st congresses.  He was then defeated by Paul Wellstone.

  Passage: The 1984 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 6, 1984.  Incumbent Republican Senator Charles H. Percy ran for re-election to a fourth term in the United States Senate.  Senator Percy was opposed by Democratic nominee Paul Simon, who was a United States Congressman from Illinois's 22nd congressional district.  The campaign between Percy and Simon was brutal and toughly-fought, and ended up with Simon ousting Percy by fewer than 90,000 votes, which was, at the time, considered an upset.
  Title: United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2002
  Passage: The 2002 United States Senate election in Minnesota took place on November 5, 2002.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) chose former Vice President and 1984 Presidential candidate Walter Mondale to replace Wellstone on the ballot.  Mondale lost to Republican Mayor of Saint Paul Norm Coleman.  The day before the election, Independence Governor Jesse Ventura had appointed Dean Barkley (IP) to serve the rest of Wellstone's term.
