2000 United States Presidential Election (A New Dawn)

The 2000 United States Presidential Election was the 53rd quadrennial presidential election in the United States, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. The Republican ticket of Texas Governor George W. Bush and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield defeated the Democratic ticket of Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman and Vermont Governor Howard Dean.

Due to his age, incumbent Republican President Bob Dole chose not to run for a second term, leaving the field open to a slew of candidates, which soon narrowed down to Bush and Arizona Senator John McCain.

This is the most recent election in which all four major candidates are still living.
