Original Note:
The federal deficit skyrocketed under Trump in 2020 due to bipartisan emergency pandemic relief spending. While it is true the federal deficit fell by $1.7 trillion under Biden in the 2021/2022 fiscal years, this was expected when the relief spending expired as planned. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fact-checkers-bidens-state-of-the-union-claims-deficit-misleading-lacking-context https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html
