George W. Bush (presidential campaign)

George W. Bush ran for President of the United States in 2000 as the Republican candidate. His campaign focused on issues like tax cuts, a strong national defense, and education reform. He emphasized compassionate conservatism, appealing to both traditional conservatives and moderates. The 2000 race was highly contested, ultimately decided by a Supreme Court decision that stopped a recount in Florida, giving him the electoral victory. Bush's campaign combined traditional Republican policies with a focus on unity after a close and sometimes divisive election.
