Hillary Clinton and Al Gore reunite, campaigning on climate change
Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, campaigning Tuesday in Miami, used Gore's electoral history to convince Florida voters that every vote counts.
The event, which focused on climate change, looked toward a future Clinton administration as much as it looked back at what Gore has called his "crushing" defeat in the 2000 presidential election.
Overlooking their past animosity, the pair campaigned together for the first time since 2000.
Clinton's campaign enlisted Gore to campaign with the former first lady for two distinct purposes: Rally voters who are spurred by climate advocacy and to show Floridians that every vote counts by highlighting how only a few votes in Florida lost Gore the White House.
And Gore did just that in Miami.
"Your vote, really, really, really counts," Gore said. "You can consider me as an exhibit A of that."
He continued: "Now, for those of you who are younger than 25, you might not remember the election of 2000 and what happened here in Florida and across the country. For those of you older than 25, I heard you murmuring just now. But take it from me, it was a very close election.
