US bracing for ‘extraordinary’ election year in 2024

The United States is officially in an election year, and it's shaping up to be a wild one. The leading Republican candidate Donald Trump is facing over 90 criminal indictments while President Joe Biden is the second oldest candidate to run for the White House in US history. If he wins, Mr Biden will be the oldest to ever assume office at 82 and will top out the record for oldest president when he leaves office at 86. There are virtually no historical precedents which show how Donald Trump’s legal cases will impact his re-election bid. Sky News Washington Correspondent Anneliese Nielsen says these facts render the upcoming presidential election “all the more extraordinary in just about every way imaginable”.
