Did the Democratic party announce his candidacy!?

I ain't American but i thought they hadn't announced on yet... Source that they did? Just so I can catch up. Thanks!

That's their distinction between candidate and nominee. Biden was a candidate for 2024 presidential race but had not yet become the DNC nominee.

Oh sick. So he wasn't a nominee yet.

Is trump the oldest nominee?!!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think he is.

But I don't know the ages of every failed campaign. It's easy to check the winners, but there might have been someone even older that lost.

But I doubt it.

LOL!

You have made a big impact correcting this image. Although it would have been less partisan if you just said 'nomineee... Not candidate.'

Lol.. but you didn't cos... Well I wonder why. Why didnt you?

I legitimately don't even know what you're asking...

I'm not sure they do, either.
