Bush v. Gore 20 Years Later
1 hour, 32 minutesIn the 2000 presidential election, Texas Governor George W. Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore in one of the most highly contested races in U.S. history. The outcome was not decided until December 12 -- five weeks after voters went to the polls -- when the U.S. Supreme Court stopped a Florida recount. This ultimately awarded the state's electoral votes -- and the presidency -- to Governor Bush. American History TV and C-SPAN's Washington Journal looked back 20 years to the 2000 election and the landmark Bush v. Gore decision with Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne and The Bulwark editor at large William Kristol. They are co-editors of the book "Bush v. Gore: The Court Cases and the Commentary."
