Al Gore tweets endorsement of Hillary Clinton

Former Vice President Al Gore is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president, but he says he is “not able” to attend the Democratic National Convention this week.

In a trio of tweets Monday, Gore said he’s voting for Clinton “given her qualifications and experience — and given the significant challenges facing our nation and the world.” He did not tweet his reason for not attending the nominating convention.

Gore, an outspoken activist on the issue of global warming, specifically said that Clinton would help to raise awareness on the issue.

Gore was the Democratic nominee for president in 2000, but he lost the general election in a highly contentious race against George W. Bush.
