In the United States, the 2000 Delaware Democratic presidential primary (held February 5) was one of the intermediate primaries before the California primary for the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2000 presidential election.

Candidates[]

  • Bill Bradley, former Senator from New Jersey
  • Al Gore, incumbent Vice President of the United States from Tennessee

Campaign[]

Due to its minor status in the primaries and the fact that it and Washington came in between the New Hampshire and California primaries, both major candidates only spent a small amount of time in both states.

Al Gore won all of Delaware's 3 counties, but would not receive its 22 delegates (Gore would get fifteen with seven remaining unallocated) until the caucus that happened after Bill Bradley ended his campaign. Bill Bradley lost the rest of the primaries by large margins and Al Gore would eventually lose the general election to Governor of Texas George W. Bush.
