TheUnited States presidential election of 2000 was the 54th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. The contest was mainly between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democratic candidate Al Gore. 

The final outcome was one of the closest presidential elections in the nation’s history. The result of the election hinged on Florida, where the margin of victory triggered a mandatory recount. Ultimately, the United States Supreme Court’s 5–4 decision in Bush v. Gore, announced on December 12, 2000, ended the recounts, effectively awarding Florida’s votes to Bush and granting him the victory.
