  • FILES-US-VOTE-TRUMP-BIDEN<br>(FILES) Former US President Donald Trump appears in the courtroom for his civil fraud trial at New York State Supreme Court on October 24, 2023 in New York. While the stakes could hardly be higher for American democracy, voters are increasingly turned off by the apparently inevitable rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Joe Biden has joked about it, ignored it and suggested it makes him wise. A year out from the US presidential election, the issue of his age just won't go away. Donald Trump was impeached twice. He has been found liable in fraud and sexual abuse lawsuits. He is charged with 91 felonies, accused of recklessly endangering national security, and of conspiring to defraud the United States. Young US voters have been through graduations, new jobs and the end of Covid restrictions since the last presidential election, but next year's likely Trump-Biden rematch has left many Americans in their early 20s with an uneasy sense of deja vu.
