The 2000 Indiana Democratic presidential primary took place on May 2, 2000, as one of 3 contests scheduled in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the Alaska caucus the weekend before. The North Carolina primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 88 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 72 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary
Vice president and presumptive nominee Al Gore won the primary with more than 71% of the vote and all but ten delegates, which went to Senator Bill Bradley, who made the 15% threshold for statewide delegates with 21%. Gore became the presumptive nominee for the Democratic nomination about two months prior, but even then Bradley secured a small amount of protest vote.https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2000/03/15/bush-gore-clinch-nominations/1257b2f3-09ac-4cce-bab9-ef8650b6d91d/ Bush, Gore Clinch Nominations March 15, 2000 September 13, 2023
