Let’s look at oldest mainline Presidential nominees in history:

  1. Biden - 2024 (81)
  2. Trump - 2024 (78)
  3. Biden - 2020 (77)
  4. Trump - 2020 (74)
  5. Reagan - 1984 (73)
  6. Trump - 2016 (70)
  7. Reagan - 1980 (69)

Next President who was elected was William Henry Harrison, but we’re getting “young” enough there may be unelected nominees I’m not aware of.

Also: fun fact. Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency lifespan has been over 43 years so far, while Teddy Roosevelt was only 42 when elected Predident.
