Give it a minute. Her campaign is like 46 hours old. I read it to mean that all living presidents have spoken against Trump or in favor of Biden/Harris in the past.

Rule of thumb: You can be idealist in the primaries, but you have to be pragmatic in the general. Tell the world what you want during the off season, but the general election determines who we are stuck with for 4 years, and if you refuse to participate you are part owner of the mess you leave behind. If you didn't vote against Trump in 2016, you helped him win and need to take ownership of that. Same for 2024.

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.
