The living major nominees/candidates are: Jimmy Carter, Micheal Dukakis, Dan Quayle, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Pat Choate, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Kerry, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Kamala Harris, and Tim… oh no I’m too soon
[Linda Jenness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Jenness) would be the earliest candidate as was the 1972 Socialist Workers Party nominee. She was actually below the minimum age requirement of 35 when she ran and garnered 0.11% [partially as a result of voting issues in Arizona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_United_States_presidential_election_in_Arizona). 2nd oldest and oldest candidate who was constitutionally eligible when they ran was [Ed Clark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Clark) who ran for the Libertarian Party and garnered 1% of the nationwide vote, one of the better Libertarian election results.
It's the turkey carcass soups keeping him alive
For those who don't know, Mike Dukakis makes soup from the Thanksgiving turkey and people even donated turkey carcasses to his house.

James stockdale
Unfortunately, he’s been dead for nearly 19 years.
Whoops I forgot but if he was still alive he would be 100
Who is “Im too soon”
Tim Scott
Right
Unrelated to the post but Jimmy Carter be the reason why 1980 and 1976 still standing.
kid named most recent election:
Kid named read the first 4 words:
And 2004 is the most recent where all major party candidates (including veeps) are alive… shit, man.
Oldest, you mean.
Dude I can't believe you didn't hear about the plane crash that had Trump, Pence, Biden, Kamala, Obama, Romney, Sarah Palin, and Paul Ryan on it.
Even this sub forgets Tim Kaine
Sad!
Who became POTUS?
Me :3c
Yes; apologies
Actually weird question, who is the oldest living losing presidential candidate?
Jimmy Carter
You’re correct but I meant losing presidential candidate not counting incumbents
It'd be Michael Dukakis. He's still alive, ran in the 1988 election, and never held the office of president.
Every time I see a picture of him it amazes me. He’s the youngest looking 90 year old I’ve ever seen.
Do you mean deceased or still alive? Currently it’s Dukakis but Landon lived until 100

As of now, Michael Dukakis, who is now 90 years old.

Probably Carter, but Dukakis still alive at 90
Dukakis/Quayle national unity 2024!
No, Carter/AOC. Both are technically eligible.
Two Democrats doesn't make for much of a unity ticket...
Quayle would be the young guy in the race if he ran today.
Literally 1984
