Remarks President Joe Biden recently made about his economic record have been taken out of context: He didn’t claim his administration added more debt than any other.

In context, it’s clear his remarks in the Rumble post are about Trump. U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., also attended the event, and Biden references him in the speech.

"The United States of America, we pay our debts," Biden said."It took 200 years to accumulate that debt. Let me explain this. Look, under my predecessor, the last guy that was president, the deficit in four — it went up four years in a row, accounting for 40% of the entire 200 years of debt. You hear me? No president added more to the debt in four years than my president. I misspoke.

We previously fact-checked Biden’s claim that a quarter of the country’s debt accumulated under Trump andBut Biden wasn’t claiming his administration was responsible for that debt. According to a White House of the speech seen in this post, Biden meant to say"my predecessor" when he said"no president added more to the debt in four years than my president."Biden didn’t say he added that debt.
