Trump Has Named Biden Nearly 900 Times in 2026, Reuters Finds
Reuters found Trump has mentioned Biden about 890 times this year, using him to deflect blame for inflation, immigration and foreign policy setbacks.
- On September 21, President Donald Trump has invoked Joe Biden's name at least 890 times this year, keeping his predecessor central to political discourse ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Seeking to shift focus from economic stewardship, Trump targets his predecessor to distract from voter dissatisfaction, as inflation remains at 3.4% and public opinion polls show Americans souring on his performance.
- Spanning nearly 200 events and around 190 Truth Social posts, Trump blamed Biden at least 210 times on the economy, 168 times on immigration, and 138 times on foreign policy.
- "Donald Trump always needs a foil and it's better to have a single person than a party," said Republican strategist Ryan Williams, explaining Trump's continued blame of his predecessor.
- Republicans fight to hold their fragile grip on Congress in November's midterm elections, while Trump focuses on re-litigating the 2020 election rather than addressing current domestic concerns.
