“Actually, in 1988 it would have been George H.W. Bush.”
Keep trying. That’s still wrong. AlGore never ran against H.W. Bush.
Here’s the answer. Perry supported AlGore (a southern dem) in the democratic primary against Dukakis (Northeastern dem).
Gore wasn’t the nominee.
He supported a democrat, did he not?
Did he not then support Dukakis once he got the democrat nomination?
