2000 United States Presidential Election (Sweet Sweet Tennessee)

UNDER DEVELOPMENT!!

The 2000 United States presidential election was the 54th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. Democratic candidate Al Gore, the sitting Vice-President from Tennessee, won the election, thanks in part, to his success in his home state of Tennessee. He defeated Governor of Texas George W. Bush with a narrow lead in the popular vote and an even narrower edge in the electorate. It was the fifth and as of 2020, last American presidential election, and the first since 1988, in which the sitting vice president won the presidency.

Incumbent president Bill Clinton was unable to run for a third term due to presidential term limits, and Gore—the most recent incumbent vice president to run for president—secured the Democratic nomination with relative ease, defeating former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley in the primaries.
