Trump was nominated by his party at the RNC in July. The Democrats will nominate their candidate next month at the DNC, and that will be Harris. Biden is no longer running for president. Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest nominee ever, and Kamala Harris.
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...
I didn't change anything, my post hasn't been edited, unlike yours. I said nominee, and I specifically explained where Trump, Biden and Harris stand in the nomination process.
You even quoted me correctly: Currently, the race is between Trump who is the oldest **nominee ** ever, and Kamala Harris.
If you need time to make sense of it, take your time.
Not for the major parties: Reps and Dems. If there has been a candidate for some BS tiny party, I can't say because I don't have full history on the fools and nonsense that usually adorn all political cycles. I'm only speaking for the main parties for which we have info.
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.
