I've seen some claims online that Trump (2024) and Biden (2020) were the oldest people to ever be nominated for president by a US political party. However a bit of research seems to show that this isn't true. For example, Peter Cooper (1876:Greenback party) was 85, and William Hope Harvey (1932:Liberty party) was 81. Who were the oldest presidential nominees, and where do Trump and Biden rank on this list?
