I just don't get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? ๐Ÿค” With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?

Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

That's why reporters would say " presumptive nominee"
