The Election That Was So Y2K
It's the year 2000. Britney Spears is dominating the charts, Sex and the City is in its prime, and two political nepo babies are fighting for the White House. What could possibly go wrong? This week, we're taking you back to one of the most chaotic and controversial presidential elections in American history: George W. Bush vs. Al Gore. From Bill Clinton's sex scandal and Gore's questionable campaign decisions to the rise of the Republican South, butterfly ballots, hanging chads, and a Florida recount that turned into a full blown political circus, we're breaking down the election that changed America forever. How did a candidate who won the popular vote lose the presidency? Did the Supreme Court decide the election? And did those infamous 537 votes in Florida help set the stage for the political division we know today? Grab your low rise jeans and butterfly clips, because history is just gossip, and this election has PLENTY of it.
