Biden Leaves Misleading Impression on U.S. Debt

"But not all of that debt can be pinned solely on the former president. In fact, a lot of it had bipartisan backing, including trillions in coronavirus relief legislation, which was supported by Democrats as well as Republicans.
Under the U.S. Constitution, it takes Congress — not merely a president’s actions — to draft and pass legislation that would add to the debt. And measuring the increase over four years in office, as Biden does in his claim, isn’t the best way to assess the impact of an administration, Marc Goldwein, senior vice president and senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, told us. A better measure is to look at what legislation the president signed into law and what impact those new laws would have."
So its Biden being fact checked about what he said.
