This Day in History 12/13/20

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here’s what happened on December 13th. On the heels of a tumultuous election, we look back to this day in 2000, when then-Vice President Al Gore conceded the presidential election to Texas governor George W. Bush.

Gore’s concession followed weeks of legal battles over the recounting of votes in Florida. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
