The 2000 California Democratic presidential primary took place on March 7, 2000, as one of 16 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the Washington primary the weekend before. It was an open primary, with the state awarding 433 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 367 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Vice president Al Gore won the highly desired primary, which bore the most delegates of the entire primary cycle by far, with a commanding 81% and 305 delegates. However, Senator Bill Bradley had a poor second-place finish than expected and took 18% of the vote and 62 delegates. Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. was also on the ballot but received slightly over 0.50% of the vote
