Yes but he backed out and it says oldest candidate.

Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.

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?

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