Apple board member Al Gore not considering 2016 run for U.S. President, source says

“A high-level Democratic source has poured cold water on rumors that former presidential candidate Al Gore has been considering a second run for the White House,” Kristen Welker and Kelly O’Donnell report for NBC.

“A BuzzFeed report on Thursday linked the 67-year-old’s name with the 2016 presidential race, saying his supporters had begun internal conversations and were ‘figuring out if there’s a path financially and politically,'” Welker and O’Donnell report. “However, a top source within the Democratic Party told NBC News that there was nothing substantive happening in the Gore camp.”

Welker and O’Donnell report, “Gore’s name has been floated as a possible candidate for every primary since he lost the election to George W. Bush in 2000.”
