Incumbent, until Jan 20, 2025

Please oh please. When we know who Biden's successor-to-be is. Let's not change "Incumbent" to "Outgoing" in Biden's infobox. GoodDay (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Why not, he will be whoever it is. Slatersteven (talk) 20:30, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

He's still the incumbent until he leaves office. So let's not do that "outgoing" stuff. GoodDay (talk) 20:31, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

At some point, we added Biden to the Trump infobox well before January 20 as elected successor or some such. Probably we should do the same here. The election has been called and there doesn't seem to be any dispute about the outcome. Wehwalt (talk) 13:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

No we didn't. We waited until Biden took office. GoodDay (talk) 13:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Comparison to Benjamin Harrison

Apologies if this is pedantic but I can't edit the article, but is this comparison to Benjamin Harrison truly necessary? – "This will give Biden the distinction of being the second president whose predecessor and successor are the same person, after Benjamin Harrison, whose predecessor and successor were Grover Cleveland." Just seems to take up space in the top of the article for no real reason other than being an interesting fun fact, but it doesn't really contribute anything meaningful to the article. I'd consider the same for the Donald Trump article, where he is compared to Grover Cleveland. I think if something happens twice (in this case, a non-consecutive term), then it's not really a notable thing to happen. Castlemore7 (talk) 22:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Agree, takes way too much space for the value of the information. I think it's notable enough for Trump's lede, but not this one, at least not using this much text. WikiFouf (talk) 14:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I removed it. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
