“It’s a rematch that no one wants.”
Yet, here we are, staring down a race between PresidentJoe Bidenand former PresidentDonald Trump.
I plan to highlight a new group of voters every week; welcome to BuzzFeed’s 2024 Election Diaries!
Recently, Iasked voters 60 and olderto share their plans for the 2024 presidential election anonymously.

I’m not thrilled with either candidate because of age, but Trump makes me sick.
He doesn’t care about the country’s well-being, only himself.”

“My top issue is the southern border.
I’m voting for Trump for his strength of character and ability to get the job done.”
“I think we need to take money out of politics entirely.
No lobbying, no donations, no fundraising.
Zero corporate interest money.
I’m not sure who I’m voting for.”
“My top issue is climate change.

“The climate is my top issue.
“My top issue is abortion.
The Democratic Party needs to fix women’s healthcare rights and accessibility.”
“My top issue is stopping undocumented immigrants from invading our country.
I’m voting for Trump because I can’t take another four years of ‘Bidenomics.'”

“Inflation and the rise of socialism are the most important issues to me.
“My top issue is the stability of leadership.
I’m voting for Biden because the other candidate is mentally unstable.”

I also believe that our VP would continue governing in much the same way.”

And finally…
20.
