Biography
Albert Arnold Gore Jr. was born March 31, 1948. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War as a journalist, then became a U.S. Representative and later Senator from Tennessee. In 1992, Bill Clinton chose him as his running mate, and Gore served two terms as Vice President (1993–2001). He ran for president himself in 2000 in one of the closest and most contested elections in U.S. history, ultimately losing to George W. Bush after a Florida recount dispute that was resolved by the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore. After leaving politics, he became a leading global voice on climate change advocacy.
