Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman won re-election to a third six-year term. While running for re-election to the Senate, Lieberman was also the Democratic nominee for vice president in the concurrent presidential election, as the running mate of presidential nominee Al Gore. With Gore losing the presidency to George W. Bush, Lieberman returned to the Senate and remained there for another 12 years, when he retired. Had the Gore-Lieberman ticket won, Lieberman would have resigned his Senate seat prior to becoming vice president. The Senate vacancy would have been filled through a special election in 2002; Governor John G. Rowland, a Republican, would have appointed an interim replacement to serve until then.https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/courant/access/57664553.html?dids=57664553:57664553&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Aug+08%2C+2000&author=MATTHEW+KAUFFMAN+And+CARRIE+BUDOFF%3B+Courant+Staff+Writers%3B+Courant+Staff+Writer+Lyn+Bixby+contributed+to+this+story%2C+which+also+includes+a+wire+service+report.&pub=Hartford+Courant&desc=SENATOR+TO+CONTINUE+RE-ELECTION+EFFORTS%2C+TOO+LAW+PERMITS+STATEWIDE+AND+NATIONWIDE+RUNS%3B+JOSEPH+LIEBERMAN%3A+THE+HISTORIC+CHOICE+Series%3A+VOTE+2000&pqatl=google Proquest - Courant.com 2017-07-07 2012-11-05 https://web.archive.org/web/20121105092358/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/courant/access/57664553.html?dids=57664553:57664553&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Aug+08,+2000&author=MATTHEW+KAUFFMAN+And+CARRIE+BUDOFF%3B+Courant+Staff+Writers%3B+Courant+Staff+Writer+Lyn+Bixby+contributed+to+this+story,+which+also+includes+a+wire+service+report.&pub=Hartford+Courant&desc=SENATOR+TO+CONTINUE+RE-ELECTION+EFFORTS,+TOO+LAW+PERMITS+STATEWIDE+AND+NATIONWIDE+RUNS%3B+JOSEPH+LIEBERMAN:+THE+HISTORIC+CHOICE+Series:+VOTE+2000&pqatl=google dead This was the last Senate election in which Lieberman formally ran as a Democrat.
