    So, as I understand with all these comments, they’re only candidates if they appear on the ballot on election day? Regardless if they ran and then dropped out?

      That would be correct. The debate and everything up to the DNC has been pure punditry. He was not an official candidate.

        I am confused if they aren’t candidates until they appear on the ballot. Then what do we call them in the meantime?

          Someone said in another comment that Biden dropped before he was officially nominated, so technically, he was more like a candidate to be a candidate if I get it right

            He was a presumptive candidate.

      They are candidates for president when they are nominated by their party. Trump was last week, Biden never was this election cycle.
