Gore has said repeatedly he is not planning a run for president next year, though (win) when pressed he refuses to rule out the possibility.

“Well, you know, I am not pondering it, and I’m not focused on that. I’m focused on (the) how to solve the climate (crises) crisis.” Among those who doubt Gore (were) will join the presidential race is long time political observer TD of the New York daily news a guest on this week’s issues in the news program on VOA.

“He kept saying (连读，k和t都不发音) he has no plans, (in usual) and usually the no plans’ languages (. It’s) is designed (the) to keep you (off attention) options open. But I suspect he is probably not (can a) going to run. I think he is probably (is) making too much money, getting too much (engelation) adulation to put himself through the (immigrants) meat grinder again.”

(RC’s) Recent polls（tp连读，t不发音）place (score) Gore in third place with about ten percent support, (will be high) well behind（behind重读，拖长，不能听成两个音） HC and BB and (refry tight) roughly tied with JA.
