Who’s excited for a Biden-Trump rematch? Almost no one.
It’s the rematch many Americans say they don’t want but feel powerless to prevent.
With just two primary contests held so far, the 2024 presidential campaign appears to be inexorably heading toward another Biden-Trump election, despite the public’s lack of enthusiasm for such a matchup. Or in some cases, outright dread.
“We had the 2016 face-off; we kind of survived it. Then we got through a Biden administration. ... And now we’re facing down having to decide between these two ill-fitted people again?” asks Abe Ott, a rancher in Durango, Colorado, who didn’t vote in 2016 and cast his ballot for President Joe Biden in 2020. “It’s hard to stomach. It’s like, didn’t we already do this?”
Large numbers of voters like Mr. Ott have repeatedly, emphatically told pollsters that” with both President Biden and former President Donald Trump as nominees. Just last week, showed almost 2 in 3 voters agreeing that the United States “needs another choice” besides Mr. Trump or Mr. Biden.
