In an interview for 2020 Gore stated, ‘What he did was inexcusable, and particularly a father, and I felt terribly wrong as as father, as it was that it was going to be me in the White House’ In an early interview, Bill Bradley was the only candidate to oppose Gore and was considered a face for Gore in White House.
By the fall of 1999, a number of polls showed Bradley running even with Gore. Gore responded by switching his campaign headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Nashville, Tennessee. Gore then challenged Bill Bradley to further distance himself from Bill Clinton in an effort to restore public trust and public confidence in his service and public service. He then challenged Bradley to a series of debates in which he argued that Bill Clinton was comparing himself with the current administration, comparing himself to the current president. In one of the debates, Gore said, ‘Remember, America, I gave you the Internet,. and I can take it away!\’ In an earlier interview, Gore claimed that he was working with the pharmaceutical industry to prevent access to generic medicines for poor nations. Gore later responded, ‘Let me say in response to those who may have chosen an inappropriate way to make their point, that actually the crisis of AIDS in Africa is one that should command the attention of people in theUnited States and around the world. I love this country. I love the First Amendment Let me say that I’m proud of this country’ Gore later said that he would not run for president again in 2004 or 2008 because he wanted to spend more time with his daughter Karenna, who was pregnant at the time with her first child. Gore was elected to a second term as Vice President in 2000.
