2000 United States presidential election (VivaSpencer)

The 2000 United States presidential election was the 54th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. Republican candidate Dylan Spencer, the senator of Florida and former actor, won the election, defeating incumbent Vice President Al Gore. Spencer was the youngest president in U.S. history at 35 years of age at the time of inauguration.

Incumbent Bill Clinton was ineligible for a third term, 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. Spencer was seen as the early favorite for the Republican nomination, and after a contentious primary battle with Governor George W. Bush and others, secured the nomination by Super Tuesday. Spencer chose Governor of Rhode Island Raymond Cooper as his running mate, while Gore chose U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman. This is the earliest U.S. presidential election in which all four top two candidates—for president and vice president—are living.
