Vice President Al Gore reluctantly concedes defeat to Texas Governor George W. Bush in his bid for the presidency, following weeks of legal battles over the recounting of votes in Florida, on December 13 2000. In a televised speech from his ceremonial office next to the White House, Gore said that while he was deeply disappointed and sharply disagreed with the Supreme Court verdict that ended his campaign, ”partisan rancor must now be put aside.” “I accept the finality of the outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College” he said. “And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.”

“”” sharply disagreed with the Supreme Court verdict that ended his campaign,””””
His campaign ended because he had fewer votes than W.
If Gore would have won his own home state he would have won.

Another attempt by the Democrats to overturn the results of a Presidential election.
To: Kid Shelleen
Has Hillary ever conceded?? If she did she didn’t mean it.

Exactly. Algore had conceded and then somebody told him to call back and renege.

Sure glad Trump trounced Hillary so we didn’t have to put up with any on this kind of crap.
