Bruce Gluck was a United States Senator from Michigan prior to and during Day 2. He was one of the co-conspirators in Roger Stanton's Coral Snake plot to undermine President David Palmer during Day 2. Senator Gluck conspired with NSA director Stanton, Colonel Ron Samuels, and others to allow the terrorist group Second Wave to bring a nuclear weapon into Los Angeles. He and the conspirators never planned for the attack to succeed, and were trying to secretly force President David Palmer to choose their policies.
