    Biden stepped down before getting the official nomination. Trump was nominated by his party last week. That makes Trump officially the oldest candidate nominated by a political party.

      You are confusing the term candidate and nominee.

      Both Biden and Trump were candidates. Trump is now the Republican nominee, Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee.

      Jesus, I just realized there’s only 4 years between them. They should both be retired, not running for second terms as president.
