2000 United States presidential election (hanhwa)

The election of 2000 was the 54th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. Incumbent President Phil Gramm decided to run for another full term, despite becoming unpopular following attempts to eliminate the public school system and his approval ratings had dropped below 50%. This election was the last election in which a Republican candidate won in a row since 1980. Republican President Phil Gramm pulled the greatest election upset since 1948 by managing to defeat Democratic canididate John Glenn in a rematch. Gramm also became the first President since Harrison to win an election despite losing the popular vote, and the first President since Nixon to win without winning his home state. George H. W. Bush again ran as a third party and did surprisingly way gaining electoral votes from his home state of Texas and more than 20% of the popular vote. The Democrats ended up winning the House thanks to Gramm’s unpopularity but ended up just barely being able to win the Senate.
