Al Gore (Apocalypse: 2012)

Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr. (1948-unknown) was the 42nd President of the United States. He narrowly won the 2000 Presidential Elections against George W. Bush after the Florida recount, making it the closest elections in U.S. history.

The Gore Administration
Al Gore, a Democrat from Tennessee, was sworn in on January 20, 2001, leading the United States into the new millennium. Gore would promote pro-environmental policies as the concern of global warming worsened at the end of the 20th century.

Nine months into office, the September 11, 2001 attacks occurred. Two hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, one in the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia; and the fourth one crashed somewhere in rural Pennsylvania. Over 2,996 people were killed and caused billions of dollars of damages. Three weeks later, under the Gore administration, the United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. The Taliban government in Kabul was quickly disposed of and an interim administration was placed. However, the Taliban retreated into Pakistan and infiltrated many sectors of the Pakistani government. They would also launch a guerrilla warfare against the U.S. and NATO forces, causing both sides to increase their efforts there.

In 2003, Gore cancelled the Invasion of Iraq since there was no proof the Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs. His popularity was around 50-60% by the time of the 2004 Presidential Elections.

2004 Presidential Elections
Gore would run again for the 2004 Presidential Elections. However, he lost to John McCain, a Republican from Arizona. McCain would continue the War in Afghanistan.

Post-Presidency
Al Gore continued to promote about the environment after he left office. He would regularly speak in several colleges and institutions across the United States. In 2006, the Inconvenient Truth, starring himself and showing the effects of global warming in the future, was released.

During the Nuclear War of December 21, 2012, Al Gore was at unknown location. It is unknown if he survived the war or was killed.
