The 2000 Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary took place on April 4, 2000, as one of two primaries on the same day in the Democratic primaries for the 2000 United States presidential election. The Pennsylvania primary was a closed primary, with the state awarding 191 delegates, of whom 186 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.
Vice president and presumptive nominee Al Gore won the primary with more than 74% of the vote, earning another 139 delegates and helping him to cross the necessary majority of 1,991 delegates and officially win the Democratic nomination.[1] Senator Bill Bradley, who had suspended his campaign one month earlier, received around 20% of the vote and 21 delegates, even without actively campaigning.
