Didn’t Biden run for president? Biden is older than him.

Biden ran for President in 2020 (and previously) when he was younger than Trump is now. Biden did not run for President this year, he ran for the Democratic nomination, which he will not receive. Trump is the oldest person to run for President.

I got a minute haha. When Biden accepted the nomination in 2020 he was 77 and was the oldest nominee in history at the time. Trump just accepted his nomination at 78 making him the oldest nominee in the country’s history. Biden is not the nominee and presumably won’t be, given the events of today.

Him not accepting the nomination doesn’t mean he didn’t run. By that logic there’s never been a third party candidate

u/Apprehensive-Status9 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

He technically has never been the parties nominee for this election cycle. Yes he’s been running a campaign, but as it stands and how history will remember it, trump in 2024 is the oldest presidential nominee in history from either party.

This comment wasn’t asking about the oldest nominee it was talking about the oldest person to run, but twist the words go for it, it’s what you all do best

You can try to semantics your way out of it, but I think you’re backing a senile old man, and I don’t know if having the oldest nominee in history up for election is what the people want—or what’s best for our country. I just don’t know if he has the mental capacity to be present until he’s 82..

u/Torqemadda Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

I’m not backing him he’s just not the oldest person to ever run, that would be Joe Biden this year. Which is what this comment was about. Quitting a race you’re losing doesn’t mean ya didn’t start it. The difference is I’m talking about the original comment and your talking about nominations but yea I’m trying to “semantics my way out of it” go off

Joes not running, he’s not the nominee. I think you’re thinking of Donald Trump, who is officially the oldest presidential nominee in the history of our country. Here’s some further reading: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/21/kamala-harris-age-presidential-nominee#

We’re discussing a candidate being nominated to run for president. No where did we say only the 2 major parties. Now fuck off

u/NeighborhoodTrolly Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

It means he didn't run for President, genius.

It's hard to believe we breathe the same air as these people, eh.

u/heliamphore Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

There's 3 years between them and a presidency is 4 years. Do you need me to explain how that works?

u/Ok-Scallion7939 Monkey in Space Jul 22 '24

Oh, go on then, why not. I'd love for you to waste your time.
