Three advantages of incumbency are 1. The presidents are already known in the political spectrum 2. They have rather no trouble running and funding their campaigns and 3. They have safe seats due to their experience and sometimes district advantage due to their parties control over a certain area that favors their political party.

Incumbency refers to the state of being the current office holder, as opposed to a political challenger. For example, in the U.S. Presidential race of 2012, Barack Obama was the "incumbent"--the person holding the office of the President--and was running against Mitt Romney, the Republican challenger. However, incumbency can also refer to an obligation or duty. An example of this usage would be a statement such as, "it is incumbent upon you to pay the taxes you owe" or "the need to pay taxes has become an incumbency".
