Al Gore says 2020 election 'completely different' to his 2000 battle with George W Bush

Former vice president Al Gore has said the state of the 2020 election is "completely different" to the conclusion of the 2000 race for the White House when he eventually lost out to George W Bush.

Mr Gore pointed out that Democrat nominee Joe Biden has more paths to victory than he did in 2000 when the battle between himself and eventual president Bush went all the way to the supreme court, which ultimately decided in favour of the latter.

“This is a completely different election from the one 20 years ago," Mr Gore told NBC News on Thursday. "And of course, I'm for him and I'm hoping that will be the case very soon".

He added: “You know, I looked at the people standing in line to vote in the middle of a pandemic. Some of them waiting in line 10, 11 hours in some cases.

"And the determination of the American people in spite of the, what they were facing, to have the largest turnout in the entire history of our country, they're heroes and they're redeeming the promise of America".
