Biden was a candidate up till a few days ago. So Biden is still the oldest candidate ever.
trump might grab the “oldest nominee ever” because he’s born a couple months later than Biden.
Similarly, trump took office at 70 years and 220 days in 2016, so he could also grab “oldest to enter office”, that record is held by 2020 Biden at 78 years, 61 days in the unfortunate case he wins.
I know it’s just a meme. But it’s worth the accuracy of being pedantic.

Edit:
Nope, not even the oldest nominee:

Dude was 84, which means neither Biden or trump have been the oldest nominee/candidate.
But Biden still has record for oldest president
Did the Democratic party announce his candidacy!?
I ain’t American but i thought they hadn’t announced on yet… Source that they did? Just so I can catch up. Thanks!
That’s their distinction between candidate and nominee. Biden was a candidate for 2024 presidential race but had not yet become the DNC nominee.
Oh sick. So he wasn’t a nominee yet.
Is trump the oldest nominee?!!
I think he is.
But I don’t know the ages of every failed campaign. It’s easy to check the winners, but there might have been someone even older that lost.
But I doubt it.
LOL!
You have made a big impact correcting this image. Although it would have been less partisan if you just said ‘nomineee… Not candidate.’
Lol… but you didn’t cos… Well I wonder why. Why didnt you?
I legitimately don’t even know what you’re asking…
I’m not sure they do, either.

You keep saying “ever” and I do not think that word means what you think it means…
Biden was a candidate up until a week ago, and he’s 3.5 years older than trump. The only way trump beats it is if he runs in 2028, which he prob will.
But until then, Biden is the oldest presidential candidate ever.
Edit:
Now that you changed it to nominee…
Are you sure there hasn’t been someone older that lost?
You switched gears pretty quickly, so I don’t think you out in the legwork or check this either…

The original meme does say “candidate”.
Look at your post…
And btw, neither are the oldest candidate or nominee, there was an 84 year old back in the day.
Whatever you’re trying to say. You’re wrong
Dude, it even says nominee in your quote of his, he didn’t change it.

It’s candidate (multiple for each party) then after the convention, they become the “nominee” (one per party).
It’s confusing because the party keeps trying to act like primaries are over after the first handful of states vote.
So for months they’re talking about a candidate like it’s the only option, but they’re still not the nominee.
