The 2000 Democratic Primaries, pitted the establishment campaign Vice President Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee against the insurgent campaign of Bill Bradley of New Jersey. During the course of the 5 month primary season, Vice President Gore had managed to win every single primary contest over his rival, and was declared the party's nominee for the 2000 Election.
Candidates
- Vice President Albert Gore Jr.
- Home State: Tennessee
- Throughout the 2000 Primary Season, Vice President Gore ran the establishment campaign, receiving the endorsements of key part officials. The favored candidate of the Democratic party's base, Gore easily defeated Bradley in the Iowa Caucuses with 63% of the vote, to Bradley's 35% of the vote. Gore's closest victory was in New Hampshire in which he won 50%-46%. After receiving the nomination of the party, Gore accepted Joe Lieberman as his running mate. However, the Gore-Lieberman ticket eventually lost to the Bush-Chenney ticket in the 2000 Election.
- Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley
- Home State: New Jersey
- Throughout the primary season, Senator Bradley ran an insurgency campaign, positioning himself as the alternative to Gore. Despite receiving endorsements such as that of Michael Jordan, Bradley was washed out of the Iowa Caucuses, losing to Gore by 28% of the vote. However, Bradley campaigned heavily in New Hampshire, and the large number of independents who made up 40% of the voting block and voted for Bradley 56-41 [1] gave him a close second place finish, losing to Gore 46%-50%. Despite the razor thin finish, Bradley failed to win the support Democrats in many states (such as the 41-59 loss amongst Democratic voters in New Hampshire} and eventually dropped out of the race.
