    I thought the DNC didn’t name their candidate until after the convention. He was the presumptive candidate as the incumbent, but I didn’t think he had official candidacy yet.

      It’s candidate (multiple for each party) then after the convention, they become the “nominee” (one per party).

      It’s confusing because the party keeps trying to act like primaries are over after the first handful of states vote.

      So for months they’re talking about a candidate like it’s the only option, but they’re still not the nominee.
