Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.

See If everyone just was able to give a clear and consice, non bullshittery and non-assholish answer like you, the world would be so much better. Thank you, legitimately.

So, as I understand with all these comments, they’re only candidates if they appear on the ballot on election day? Regardless if they ran and then dropped out?

They are candidates for president when they are nominated by their party. Trump was last week, Biden never was this election cycle.

That would be correct. The debate and everything up to the DNC has been pure punditry. He was not an official candidate.

I am confused if they aren’t candidates until they appear on the ballot. Then what do we call them in the meantime?
