Trump has mentioned Biden nearly 900 times in 2026

Published 21 September 2026

President Donald Trump has mentioned former President Joe Biden by name at least 890 times in 2026, according to a review of his public statements, averaging about three times per day across speeches, interviews, and social media posts. The tally, which spans from January 1 to the present, shows Trump invoking Biden at least 210 times on the economy, 168 times on immigration, and 138 times on foreign policy and national security matters. The review, conducted by Reuters, examined Trump's references across nearly 200 events and interviews and approximately 190 posts on Truth Social. The findings highlight a sustained rhetorical strategy to keep the focus on the perceived failures of the previous administration as the November 3 midterm elections approach. Trump has blamed Biden for issues ranging from inflation and immigration to munitions shortages and the cost of housing. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales defended the references, stating, "Joe Biden is the worst president in American history, and President Trump has spent every day cleaning up his mess and making the United States of America stronger than ever before." The comments were provided to Reuters.
