President Joe Biden has added twice as much debt in his roughly 2.5 years in the White House, compared to former President Trump over the same period.
The national debt surpassed $32 trillion Friday, reaching $32.03 trillion, according to Treasury Department data.
The national debt has increased by roughly $4.3 trillion from $27.7 trillion since Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021.
The Democrat president had a Democratic-led House and Senate to work with until January 2023 when the GOP took the House majority.
The national debt increased $2.1 trillion from the time Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017 to June 17, 2019 – from $19.9 trillion to $22 trillion.
Trump had a Republican-led House and Senate until January 2019 when the Democrats took the House majority.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020, the national debt soared to record highs due to the massive stimulus bills passed by the Democratic-led House and Republican-led Senate and signed into law by Trump.
Biden and the Democratic-led Congress passed their own pandemic stimulus bill in 2021 as well.
The national debt jumped from $23.5 trillion in mid-March of 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, to $27.7 trillion when Trump left office.
Congress recently passed legislation to raise the nation's debt ceiling by roughly $4 trillion through next year.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said Friday that it's past time for Congress to take action to lower the nation's deficit, which the Congressional Office projects will total $1.4 trillion for fiscal 2023.
