Democrats, Republicans and independents discuss the 2024 US election candidates.

The US elections for the next president are not until November 2024 but the campaigning for votes is underway. And it鈥檚 two familiar faces who seem to be the ones to beat.

One of those faces is Donald Trump. His mugshot has been shared around the world, after he appeared at a jail for some of the series of criminal charges he is facing. The former president says the prosecutions are politically motivated in order to prevent him for trying for a second go at the top job.

The man who is currently in the Oval Office, Joe Biden, is currently the oldest US President. He says he wants more time to finish the job.

Host Lukwesa Barak hears from people across the country who belong to the two major parties about what they make of their choices, and also from those who feel that neither party represents them.

鈥淩ight now I鈥檓 disillusioned or disenfranchised with both the Democrats and the Republicans,鈥 says Noel Brown in North Carolina.

鈥淭he issues that I have is that with Mr Biden looking to be the nominee for the Democrats, I think he鈥檚 too old and in decline but then again I cannot vote for Donald Trump because I think he disrespects the office of the president.鈥
