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
