President Joe Biden
Case #
5759

Twitter community adds a context note to Joe Biden tweet:  The official Twitter account for the president tweeted, “Under my predecessor, the deficit went up four years in a row. In the last two years, my Administration cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion. The largest deficit reduction in American history.” Twitter added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "The deficit reduction Biden claims credit for is due to emergency Covid spending expiring as planned. 'Independent analysts say Biden’s own actions...have had the overall effect of adding to current and projected future deficits, not reducing those deficits.'" The context note also included a link that supported the note. The label is part of Twitter’s Community Notes system. Twitter users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to tweets.
